Arsenal destroyed Leeds 5-0 at the Emirates, with new boy Viktor Gyökeres bagging a brace and Jurrien Timber plus Bukayo Saka adding to the rout. Eberechi Eze was even unveiled pre-match — a perfect North London afternoon… until disaster struck.
Captain Martin Ødegaard hobbled off with a shoulder injury, and moments later star man Bukayo Saka pulled up clutching his hamstring. With Kai Havertz already out long-term, Mikel Arteta’s squad suddenly looks thin.
According to The Standard, the news isn’t as bad as feared: both players have dodged major damage. Still, Arsenal will run further scans to know if their creative duo make it to Anfield next week for the blockbuster clash with Liverpool.
