The latest injury update on Bukayo Saka after brutal tackle against Ipswich.
Arsenal’s 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town on Sunday was overshadowed by a concerning injury to Bukayo Saka, following a reckless challenge by Ipswich defender Leif Davis. In the 32nd minute, with Arsenal leading 2-0, Davis was shown a straight red card after a dangerous tackle that saw him plant his studs into the back of Saka’s Achilles. The foul was widely condemned, with commentators labeling it as intentional and cowardly .
Saka, who had been instrumental in the first half by assisting goals for Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, was substituted shortly after the incident. He was later seen on the bench with an ice pack on his right ankle, raising concerns about his fitness ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming Champions League semi-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain .
Despite the injury scare, Arsenal maintained their dominance in the match, with Trossard adding a second goal and 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri scoring his first Premier League goal to seal the win . The victory moves Arsenal nine points clear in the race for Champions League qualification.
As of now, there has been no official update on the severity of Saka’s injury. However, his substitution and the application of an ice pack suggest a precautionary approach by the medical team. Arsenal fans and management will be eagerly awaiting further news, especially with crucial fixtures on the horizon.
