Is Bukayo Saka an injury concern for Arsenal? Gunners star struggling to shake off long-standing issue

<p>The 22-year-old winger has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/bukayo-saka-builds-dream-premier-league-footballer-two-arsenal-team-mates-man-city-stars/blt1b89a33f386a6b77" target="_blank">been a model of consistency for the Gunners</a> since making a senior breakthrough and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/arsenal-star-bukayo-saka-equals-gunners-legend-paul-merson-s-record/blt4eacce7b242eff86" target="_blank">rarely misses games due to physical ailments</a>. He has taken in 184 appearances for the north London outfit and has only ever sat out two games at club level due to fitness problems.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12510887/THE-NOTEBOOK-Craig-Brown-deserved-better-disrespectful-minutes-silence-England-took-Scotland-Arsenal-boss-Mikel-Arteta-breathe-sigh-relief-Bukayo-Sakas-inclusion.html " target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail</em></a> has, however, claimed that Saka is still carrying an Achilles problem that dogged him throughout the 2022-23 campaign. He was able to manage that and play through any pain, but Arsenal would prefer to have him performing at 100 per cent.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It is suggested that England did not include Saka in their starting XI for a<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-player-ratings-vs-scotland-jude-bellingham-kyle-walker/blt58902b517f53c076" target="_blank"> friendly date with Scotland</a> as he needs to be rested at times. He did figure off the bench in that contest at Hampden Park, but few risks were taken on him.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal will hope that the issue can be resolved, without the need for surgery or a spell on the sidelines, with Mikel Arteta’s side readying themselves for a return to Premier League action on Sunday when they take in a trip to Everton.</p>
