Will Bukayo Saka play against Luton? Mikel Arteta issues update on Arsenal talisman after seeing him limp out of title showdown against Man City

Saka, who was initially a fitness doubt leading up to the game against City after pulling <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/arsenal-sweating-bukayo-saka-s-fitness-ahead-of-man-city-clash-after-forward-drops-out-england-squad/blt953c810505642985">out of international duty</a> with England, had to be substituted in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mikel-arteta-gives-arsenal-positive-bukayo-saka-update-forced-off-during-draw-man-city/blt2f0dd14b653dd782#cs5d1a46b379b43720" target="_blank">78th minute of the encounter at the Etihad Stadium,</a> which ended in a goalless draw. The England international was evidently in pain and discomfort as Gabriel Martinelli replaced him in the final quarter of the match.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Despite fears of a potential injury, Arteta has now confirmed that Saka is "fine" and available for selection against Luton Town on Wednesday night."We haven’t trained, just recovered," Arteta told reporters. "We have a short, light session today to prepare for the game, and we will see if he’s in the best condition to start or not."

WHAT ARTETA SAID

Saka was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-man-city-gabriel-magalhaes-declan-rice/blt3e99192ffe454e0f" target="_blank">far from his best against City </a>as he could complete just 11 passes and was unable to dribble past any defender during his stay on the pitch. However, Arteta remains optimistic that he will play a significant role against Luton as Arsenal aim to keep their title charge on track.When asked about Saka's ability to play the full 90 minutes, Arteta affirmed: "He certainly is today. We will train today and see the state of every player and make the right decision tomorrow."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The update from Arteta comes as a relief for Arsenal fans, as Saka's availability adds depth to the squad ahead of a crucial fixture. The manager will hope that his talismanic forward shrugs off any discomfort and revives his scoring touch ahead of a busy schedule for the Gunners, which will see them travel to Brighton on Saturday before hosting Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on April 9.
