Bukayo Saka backed to 'fly' in crucial Champions League clash with Bayern Munich as Mikel Arteta provides injury update on Gunners' key man

Saka, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/where-is-bukayo-saka-arsenal-star-absence-luton-explained-injury-fears/blta95f239735fbaa79#cs3c3a759368bdff8d" target="_blank">who was substituted in the 78th minute</a> during Arsenal's recent match against Manchester City, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-luton-emile-smith-rowe-martin-odegaard/blt899f3ff3e0fb57cd" target="_blank">subsequently missed the game against Luton Town on Wednesday</a>. However, the forward has since been training and Arteta remains confident that he would be available for selection in the crucial continental match next week against the Bavarians.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Before facing Brighton on Saturday, Arteta stated: "I am super positive. I think he is going to fly and be so decisive. Yeah. I think [my confidence is] because he is so strong, how much he wants it when you talk to him and how excited he is about what is coming. He wants to be there and he is getting better and better".

WHAT ARTETA SAID

However, Saka remains a doubt for Arsenal's next Premier League fixture against the Seagulls. When asked about the forward's availability for the weekend, Arteta said: "We will know now, with our training session in a few hours. We will know whether he is fit or not."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arsenal are aiming to secure a vital win against Brighton to maintain pressure on league leaders Liverpool. However, it will be a daunting task at the Amex Stadium since Roberto De Zerbi's men have been a formidable force at home losing just one league game this season in front of their fans.
