Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka Sidelined vs Leeds After Warm-Up Injury

1 Min Read

Arsenal faces a significant setback in their Premier League match against Leeds United, as star winger Bukayo Saka has been ruled out due to an injury sustained during the pre-game warm-up.

Last-Minute Change for the Gunners

Saka had been rested during the midweek Champions League fixture against Kairat but was lined up to return to the starting XI for the trip to Elland Road. The team aims to widen their lead at the summit of the table to seven points following last weekend’s loss to Manchester United.

However, the situation changed abruptly when Saka suffered a knock during warm-up preparations. He was observed making his way down the tunnel accompanied by a member of the Arsenal medical staff.

Lineup Adjustments

In response, Noni Madueke steps into the starting lineup in Saka’s place. Additionally, Christian Norgaard, who was not initially included in the matchday squad, has been added to the bench, taking over the spot vacated by Madueke.

Updates on the match and Saka’s condition will follow as the game progresses.
