Arsenal's Manager Mikel Arteta has expressed concerns about the availability of key players Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu for the upcoming clash against Manchester United this Sunday, according to Evening Standard.
Saka sustained a leg injury during Arsenal's recent victory against Bournemouth, resulting in a noticeable gash.
Despite training with a bandaged leg this week, his participation remains uncertain.
Adding to the team's worries, Tomiyasu missed a training session at London Colney, opting for indoor work instead.
Addressing the media on Friday, Arteta said, "A few doubts that tomorrow we can resolve with another training session. So we’ll have to see," hinting at the uncertainty surrounding Saka and Tomiyasu's status.
When specifically asked about the duo, Arteta confirmed, "A few doubts over the names that you discussed, yes."
