Arsenal handed huge scare as star limps off in NLD win over Spurs after going down injured | OneFootball

Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday away from home after a second-half header from Brazilian centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes.

Arsenal went into the game on the back of several injuries but managed to get the better of their city rivals after a brilliant corner from Bukayo Saka provided the assist for their winner.

However, manager Mikel Arteta could be left sweating over the fitness of the England international attacker ahead of the trip to Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City next weekend.

Saka limped off after going down injured and had to be replaced by Ethan Nwaneri in the closing stages of the game.

It appeared the Arsenal star picked up an issue with his thigh and medical tests will be carried out on him this week to determine the extent of the knock.

The Gunners are back in action on Thursday when they visit Atalanta for their opening game of the league phase of the Champions League, and being without the influential Saka will be a blow.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard missed out on the North London derby dearly due to the ankle injury he sustained while playing for Norway on Monday, while Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko both sat out of it with a calf injury.
