Major setback for Arsenal: Saka injured against Crystal Palace
Arsenal and Crystal Palace are facing off in the 17th round of the Premier League, but the match brought unfortunate news for the Gunners' star, Bukayo Saka.
The game marked a milestone for the English winger, as he played his 250th match for Arsenal. At just 23 years and 107 days, Saka became the third-youngest player in the club’s history to reach this landmark.
However, the celebratory occasion took a grim turn. Saka sustained an injury in the 25th minute and signaled for a substitution. The Arsenal talisman was replaced by Leandro Trossard.
The nature and severity of Saka’s injury remain unclear, and updates on one of the Premier League’s stars are expected soon.
The 23-year-old Saka has 9 goals and 13 assists in 24 games in all competitions this season.
