Arsenal have been hit with major injury concern after Bukayo Saka was forced off just 10 minutes into their 2-2 Champions League draw with Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
The 25-year-old England winger clutched his left thigh after a non-contact quadriceps injury while attempting a pass and was replaced by Eberechi Eze. b3a9
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted after the game: "When a player has to come off with sharp pain it is never good news. He doesn't look good at all". b3a9
Medical staff are said to be "a bit concerned" and Saka will undergo scans to determine severity. He was seen walking without crutches after the game, which is a small positive. 840a
Saka had only just returned from Achilles problems and scored against Fulham on Saturday before this setback. He is now unlikely to face Everton on Saturday in Premier League. 840a
Arsenal already have William Saliba and Christos Tzolis injured. Saka missed over three months last season with hamstring surgery.
The 2-2 draw leaves Arsenal seventh in Champions League league phase.
