As they returned to the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal had an unfortunate outing against RC Lens in the Champions League. They lost the game 2-1 surprisingly. The 22-year-old winger has struggled with knocks in his leg since their recent fixture against London rivals Spurs.

Bukayo Saka has been the ‘starboy’ for Arsenal this season with his performances. He has asserted his importance with his pace, finishing on the wing and rising to the occasions whenever called upon.

He had started the fixture against Lens in high spirits and even assisted Gabriel Jesus in the fourteenth minute. However, the English International picked up a muscle injury 5 minutes after the goal. “It Doesn’t look good,” manager Mikel Arteta clarified as he gave an update on the player’s condition.

Last season, Saka had a remarkable feat of 22 goals and assists. He outperformed his XG and XA in almost all the fixtures. This further underlines his development into one of the best right-wingers in the league and the entire world.

Saka was only behind Lionel Messi in the list of right-wingers showcasing such great stats. After a remarkable season, he won the Young Player of The Season, further enhancing his legacy. With his recurring muscle injury, Arsenal will be without a lethal weapon as they look to get results in their upcoming fixtures.
