Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is reported to have suffered a less serious injury than initially feared, having been forced off with a suspected hamstring issue during the 5–0 win over Leeds United.

Saka, 23, had already scored in helping Arsenal to a 3-0 lead in the game, and his body language was that of disappointment as trainers treated an apparently left leg injury early in the second half.

Saka was withdrawn in the 53rd minute after scoring Arsenal’s second goal, with initial assessments indicating he could be sidelined for up to a month. The news is particularly sensitive for Arsenal fans, as Saka missed three months of last season with a similar injury.
