Bukayo Saka suffers injury blow in Crystal Palace draw

Bukayo Saka, who was taken off midway through Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Monday, has been given a devastating injury setback.

The 20-year-old was replaced at halftime by Albert Sambi Lokonga after taking a brutal kick to the back of the leg from James McArthur in the first half, which drew only a yellow card from Mike Dean.

Mikel Arteta was been unable to provide an update on Saka's injuries after the match, but he slammed the decision not to show McArthur a red card for his challenge.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Arteta said: "He was very sore in the area. When I look at the action I cannot understand how the player [McArthur] can continue to play."
