Mikel Arteta was ‘praying’ for no more injuries but the Gunners have picked up another concern ahead of facing Nottingham Forest

Bukayo Saka's injury casts a significant shadow over Arsenal and England's upcoming fixtures, adding to concerns about his recurring injury problems.

With that in mind, here's every game Saka has missed for Arsenal through injury, according to data from Transfermarkt. Despite the amount of times he is injured during games, it's probably a shorter list than you may think. Saka's first injury as an Arsenal player was a minor one.

Mikel Arteta said both Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice didn’t look very good after Arsenal’s draw at Chelsea, sparking injury concerns for both the Gunners and England. Arteta’s team were held to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in a game which didn’t lack effort or intensity, but was missing quality.

Palmer, who only trained twice in the week after picking up a knock against Manchester United last weekend, played the full 90 on Sunday but will play no part for the beaten Euro 2024 finalists in the Greek capital, who will be looking to avenge last month’s dismal 2-1 defeat at Wembley.
