Saka was on the receiving end of a couple of strong challenges from Forest left-back Renan Lodi.

After receiving medical attention to his ankle, the decision was made from Mikel Arteta to hook him in the 27th minute with Reiss Nelson replacing him.

It led to fears that the youngster could be a doubt for the World Cup with the Three Lions‘ opener against Iran just three weeks away.

But according to The Sun, Arsenal are optimistic that Saka will be available for their upcoming London derby against the Blues.

The Gunners will continue to monitor Saka’s injury, with the club encouraged by the fact the forward was able to leave the Emirates Stadium without the need for crutches or a protective boot.

Arsenal look set to certainly leave the player out of their matchday squad for their Europa League clash against FC Zurich on Thursday.

A win for Arsenal against the Swiss outfit will see them finish top of their group.

But they know that failure to beat FC Zurich may see them finish second if PSV manage to beat Bodo/Glimt.

Should Arsenal end up second in Group A, they could be drawn against the likes of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla or Ajax in the knockout round play-offs.

Speaking after the win over Forest, Arteta delivered a positive update on the fitness of Saka, who has appeared in 17 games in all competitions this season.

Asked in his post-match press conference whether Saka is a doubt for the World Cup, the Spaniard said: “Hopefully not.

“It was a bad kick right from the beginning he was limping, but I don’t see any further than that, let’s see how it is in the next couple of days.”

Pressed on where he picked up the knock, Arteta remarked: “I think both [leg and ankle].

“He got kicked a few times and he wasn’t comfortable to continue.”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
