Who could replace injured Bukayo Saka in Arsenal's clash with Manchester city?

IKEJA, Nigeria - Oct. 5, 2023 - PRLog -- Bukayo Ayoyinka Temidayo Saka is an English professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Premier League club Arsenal and the England national team. He is considered to be one of the best young players in the world.

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli could both miss Arsenal's match with Man City on Sunday; Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Jesus, Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard, Emile Smith Rowe all options to feature; watch Arsenal vs Man City live on Sky Sports Premier League from 4pm; kick-off 4.30pm. Bukayo Saka's run of 87 consecutive Premier League starts for Arsenal could end on Sunday, with a leg injury picked up in the Gunners' 2-1 Champions League defeat at Lens making him a doubt for his side's huge Premier League showdown with league leaders Manchester City.

One of Arsenal supporters' worst fears came to pass when Saka limped off holding his leg in France on Tuesday night. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta claimed injury "doesn't look good" and that it was "a worry" with City the visitors to the Emirates Stadium on Super Sunday. The England international's fitness will now be a key focus ahead of the game between the two sides who fought it out for the Premier League title last season, and if the 22-year-old is ruled out, attention will turn to who could replace him against Pep Guardiola's side.

Saka's injury adds to Arteta's problems with winger Gabriel Martinelli also sidelined with a hamstring injury, meaning the Gunners could be without both wingers who were key to their superb form last season. Almost everyone else can be replaced: Arsenal cannot afford to lose Bukayo Saka to injury. Exactly why the England winger is so indispensable to Arsenal was seen in their defeat at Lens. As soon as Saka came off, the Gunners had a flat tyre. Saka is the player with the most one-on-ones in the Premier League this season. He relentlessly explores those individual duels with the full-back, and averages 14 per Premier League game.
