Coming off a season where Arsenal finished second in the Premier League and reached the semifinals of the Champions League despite a litany of injuries, expectations are high for Mikel Arteta in 2025/26.

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 travel to Liverpool’s Anfield on Sunday for their final Premier League fixture before the international break.
