Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has shared a positive injury update on Bukayo Saka. The England international winger was named in the Gunners' starting XI at Leeds on Saturday but later withdrew due to a hip problem he picked up during the warm-up.

Arsenal's medical staff have since carried out tests on the issue to determine the extent of the potential damage.

Arteta was quizzed on Saka's condition ahead of the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea, to which he replied: "We have to wait.

"Today he was better, but we have to see how he responds and make a decision. It doesn't look like something too serious, whether he's available for tomorrow or the weekend we will see."

Saka also missed three matches at the start of the season with a hamstring issue sustained in the 5-0 demolition of Leeds in August.
