Arsenal faced a moment of anxiety during their clash with Tottenham as star winger Bukayo Saka hobbled off the pitch due to a potential ankle injury. The incident occurred after a heavy fall in which Spurs midfielder Xavi Simons landed on Saka's ankle, prompting immediate attention from the Arsenal medical team. Following the treatment, Saka was substituted in favor of Noni Madueke, leaving fans worried about the severity of the injury as he has had previous struggles with injuries this season.

Despite the injury scare, Saka's active participation in post-match celebrations suggested that the situation might not be as dire as initially feared. Manager Mikel Arteta and the Gunners will be hoping for positive news regarding Saka's condition, especially given his critical role in the team’s success. He has been enjoying another standout season with Arsenal, contributing with eight goals and seven assists across all competitions, which underscores his importance to the squad.

Moreover, Saka's impressive form this season has led to enhanced recognition, culminating in a new contract that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2031. This deal highlights how vital he is to the team's future, and while any injury could affect the team's dynamics, early indications post-match suggest that Saka's impact for Arsenal may continue uninterrupted if the injury is minor.
