Arsenal’s upcoming match against Crystal Palace may not feature Bukayo Saka, as the player was absent from training photos shared by the club. The Gunners were seen preparing at the Sobha Realty Training Centre for their Premier League game against the Eagles, with notable absentees like Saka drawing fans’ attention.
Although Saka played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal’s recent Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid, concerns have been raised about his availability for the upcoming fixture. While Gabriel picked up an injury during the same game, Saka’s status remains undisclosed by manager Mikel Arteta.
Alongside Saka, Arsenal will also be missing key players like Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz due to injuries. In contrast, Crystal Palace faces their own injury challenges with several players sidelined for the match.
As Arsenal aims to maintain their lead in the Premier League, Palace sits in ninth place with a solid start to the season. Saka’s potential absence would be a significant blow to Arsenal, given his impact on the team this season.
