Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has said the decision to take Bukayo Saka off was a precaution, stating that he felt something strange.

Dailyeconomy observed that Saka collapsed on the pitch, holding his hamstring after attempting to play in a cross during the first half of their 5-1 win against Crystal Palace.

Subsequently, the winger was replaced by Leandro Trossard.

Arteta while giving an update about Saka after the match said, “He felt something. It is too early to assess him. It was a precaution with him right now.”

On the win at Palace, he stated, “A very good week. It is always weird to play the same opponent twice in three days.

“We started well, then conceded, and the team reacted so well. To score five goals away from home in this league is never easy.”
