Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is in full training with his teammates ahead of Thursday’s Europa League second leg clash with Slavia Prague.

It’s for that reason that Arteta and everyone with any Arsenal affiliation will have been so concerned to see Saka leave the field injured during his side’s 3-0 victory over Sheffield United at the weekend.

Saka was spotted in the stands with ice strapped to his thigh.

However, whatever damage was done to Saka’s thigh at Bramall Lane can’t have been as serious as first thought, as news broke on Wednesday morning that he was training with his teammates.

See below Sky Sports News’ coverage of the news as it broke, with this being an immeasurable boost to Arsenal’s hopes of defeating Slavia Prague and progressing to the next round of the Europa League.
