 Arsenal ‘cautiously optimistic’ winger will be fit for Chelsea clash

Arsenal are ‘cautiously optimistic’ the ankle injury Bukayo Saka sustained against Nottingham Forest on Sunday is not serious.


Saka limped off during his side’s 5-0 victory in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.


The England winger started the game brightly, assisting Gabriel Martinelli’s opener after five minutes.


He struggled with an ankle knock following a few tough challenges from Forest’s Renan Lodi.


Saka had also crashed into an advertising board behind the goal in the tenth minute.


Replaced after only 27 minutes, Arsenal and England are yet to discover the full extent of the youngster’s injury.


With a huge clash against Chelsea coming up before a trip to Wolves on November 12, Mikel Arteta will hope to have his star player fully fit before the World Cup.


The 21-year-old is a certainty to be included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the tournament in Qatar.


With several injuries already impacting his selection process, Southgate will be hoping Saka’s problem is not serious
