Key Arsenal Star Injured Before Everton Clash
24 Oct
Summary
- Bukayo Saka sustained a thigh injury during the Bayern Munich match.
- William Saliba and Christos Tzolis remain sidelined with injuries.
- Arsenal faces Everton with potential injury concerns impacting availability.
Arsenal's upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton on Saturday is overshadowed by a critical injury sustained by Bukayo Saka. The star winger was forced off the field in the first half of Arsenal's recent 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayern Munich due to a thigh injury.
Mikel Arteta expressed concern over Saka's condition, stating that sharp pain indicates a potentially serious issue. Saka will miss the Everton match, joining long-term absentee William Saliba, who is recovering from a back injury and expected back next month.
Winger Christos Tzolis also remains unavailable due to an injury sustained on international duty with Greece. However, defender Piero Hincapie has been spotted in training and could potentially return for the Everton game, provided he passes all medical assessments.
Everton, in contrast, appears to have no new injury concerns. Full-back Vitaliy Mykolenko and defender Jarrad Branthwaite have both recovered from previous issues and featured in their recent matches. Midfielder Christian Norgaard is reportedly not yet ready to start a game.
