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.

Arsenal secured a win against Leeds United but faced a significant setback as two key players, Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, were substituted due to injuries.

Skipper Odegaard is reported to have sustained a shoulder injury, while Saka appeared to confirm he had strained his hamstring as he made his way off the pitch. ‘That’s the negatives of the day,’ said Mikel Arteta, reflecting on the double setback in his post match press conference.
