The Gunners’ comprehensive 5-0 victory over Leeds United on Saturday was partly overshadowed by injuries to influential pair Saka and Odegaard.
Saka was replaced by Leandro Trossard just after half-time while Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was forced off before the break and replaced by Ethan Nwaneri.
Speaking after the match, Mikel Arteta admitted he was worried that Saka had suffered a ‘significant’ hamstring injury.
Odegaard, meanwhile, left the Emirates Stadium pitch holding his right shoulder.
