Bukayo Saka remains a doubt for Arsenal’s Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea on Tuesday, although Mikel Arteta confirms his injury is not serious.

The England winger was named in the starting line-up for the Gunners’ Premier League trip to Leeds United on Saturday, but did not make it to kick-off.

Saka was seemingly injured in the warm-up at Elland Road and disappeared down the tunnel during the warm-up, ultimately replaced in the starting XI by Noni Madueke.

Arsenal did not miss the 24-year-old, winning 4-0 in West Yorkshire and Arteta gave some explanation over his absence.

‘He had a little niggle and he wasn’t comfortable to start the game so we made a decision straight away,’ said the Gunners boss on Saturday.

‘We’re going to have to do some tests tomorrow and see how he is.’

Arsenal host Chelsea in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday, leading 3-2 from the first contest at Stamford Bridge.
