Bukayo Saka injury blow for Arsenal as winger forced off against Crystal Palace

Bukayo Saka appeared to sustain a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka was forced off during the first half of Saturday’s Premier League game against Crystal Palace with an injury.

The England international returned to the starting line-up after he came on as a second half substitute in Wednesday’s win over the same opposition.

Saka’s evening, however, lasted only 25 minutes when he appeared to suffer a hamstring strain.

‘He put his hand up straight away,’ said Sky Sports co-commentator Jamie Carragher.

‘I know he gets a little bit of ridicule at times for going down too much. But it looks like a problem.

‘It will only be a problem for Arsenal if it’s serious. It looked like his hamstring when he tried to put a cross in and it got blocked.’
