Arsenal scored a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Leeds United in today’s Premier League, but they were hit by several major injuries.
Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka picked up an injury at the London Club. It will be interesting to see if they can return in time for the Premier League clash with Champions Liverpool.
Andy Reed told the BBC: “It’s a real shame for Saka as he appears to be enjoying the night. He has a goal. He looks dangerous as he runs his players.
You’re impressed today
Saka gave a strong performance against Leeds today and he managed to get on the scoresheet. He will be disappointed with the injury, and it remains to be seen if he will be able to return quickly.
Saka and Odegard are one of the best players in the Premier League, and their absence will be a big blow to Arsenal. They certainly hope that the two players can return due to a blockbuster clash with Liverpool.
Meanwhile, the injury to two players could mean that Eberechi Eze may have to take creative responsibility for Liverpool in future conflicts. He has recently stood out against Liverpool on the Community Shield, and he is once again trying to make his mark against the champion.
Will Arsenal be able to avoid an injury crisis this season?
Arsenal took the league title last season due to multiple injuries issues. They certainly hope that they can overcome the nightmare of their injuries this season.
Arsenal has been extremely active in the transfer market this summer, bringing quality signatures. It is clear that they are determined to win a league title this season. The back-to-back wins at Manchester United and Leeds United will boost their confidence.
