Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka picked up a ‘pretty bad knock’ during their 4-0 win over Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
The Gunners maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season thanks to goals from Saka, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Ben White.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The result helped lift Arteta’s side up to third in the league table and just one point behind leaders Man City – however it wasn’t all good news for the Gunners.<\/p>\n
Midway through the second-half, Saka limped off the pitch with an apparent injury and now Arteta has confirmed that the winger took a ‘bad knock’.<\/p>\n
In his post-match press conference, Arteta said: ‘It was a pretty bad knock. I don’t know how he’s feeling now, I haven’t had chance to speak to him.
