ArsenalSummary
Generated byThe biggest concern at Arsenal right now is not the point earned in Munich but the fitness of Bukayo Saka, who was forced off after just 10 minutes of the 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayern Munich with a suspected thigh injury. Manager Mikel Arteta was candid in his assessment, telling TNT Sports that the situation "doesn't look good at all," with the winger now set to undergo scans in north London to determine the severity of the problem.
The timing is painful. Arsenal produced a resilient performance at the Allianz Arena, going ahead through Eberechi Eze before falling behind to goals from Alphonso Davies and a Harry Kane penalty, then pulling level through Declan Rice's composed 82nd-minute finish. Martin Odegaard reflected that it was "probably a fair result" but felt a win was possible, and the draw extends Arsenal's unbeaten run to 15 Champions League league phase matches. They sit second in the Premier League with 18 points from seven games, one point behind Manchester City.
Off the pitch, new signing Bruno Guimaraes opened up on the emotional toll of leaving Newcastle for Arsenal in a £75 million summer move, admitting he "lost many nights of sleep" over the decision. He has now settled into the squad and started back-to-back Champions League fixtures. With Saka's availability uncertain, the Gunners face Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday with their attacking options stretched.
