It's serious. Saka left the stadium on crutches after the match against Crystal Palace
In the 17th round of the English Premier League, London’s Arsenal took on Crystal Palace. Mikel Arteta's team secured a convincing 5-1 victory, but lost a key player in the process.
Details: Bukayo Saka sustained an injury in the 25th minute and requested a substitution. The nature of the injury is still unclear, but it looks serious. The Arsenal star left the stadium on crutches after the match, leaving manager Mikel Arteta concerned.
Quote: "He felt something in his hamstring. He’ll need to be examined. I’m quite worried about it, but it’s difficult to make any predictions right now. He’s been checked, but it's hard to say how bad it is," Arteta said.
