Arsenal have been dealt a major blow after star player Bukayo Saka missed training ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final clash against Sporting Lisbon.
Saka’s absence has been particularly notable given the careful management of his workload in recent weeks
The England international did not feature against Southampton at the weekend and was not spotted in training ahead of the Gunners’ trip to Sporting in the Champions League tomorrow night.
Those concerns have only intensified after reports from Sky Sports indicated that Saka did not take part in training as Arsenal began preparations for their European showdown.
Despite Saka not being available, Arteta has plenty of attacking options to call upon for the game and they will expect to have too much firepower if they are at their best.
