In this match, Saka was chosen by coach Lee Carsley to start. He only played for 51 minutes before limping off the field due to injury, making way for Noni Madueke.
The Arsenal striker had a night to forget at Wembley, picking up a yellow card just before half-time for a cynical challenge on Giorgos Masouras.
Speaking after the match, coach Carsley said about Saka’s injury: “We are looking at Saka’s situation. In the situation leading to the first goal, you could see Saka felt a problem with his leg.”
Saka’s injury has left coach Mikel Arteta and Arsenal fans worried. The striker has played 10 games in all competitions for the Gunners this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists.
Saka is considered one of the most important players of the “Gunners” at the moment. Transfermarkt website values this star at up to 150 million euros.

After that, coach Arteta’s team will welcome Shakhtar Donetsk at Emirates in the Champions League before returning to the Premier League to face Liverpool. Coach Arteta’s team will end October with a match in round 4 of the Carabao Cup against Preston North End.
