Arsenal hosts Luton Town at the Emirates Stadium in the 31st round of the English Premier League.

Winger Bukayo Saka, a key player for the Gunners, was not included in the match squad. According to AS, Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta decided not to risk the health of the leader, who is experiencing slight discomfort.

It is expected that Saka will be fully fit for the matches against Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday (April 6) and Bayern Munich on April 9 in the Champions League.

The winger left the England national team camp during the March international break due to an "undisclosed injury." Saka returned to Arsenal's starting lineup for the Sunday match against Manchester City (0-0).

However, he was substituted 12 minutes before the end of the game at the Etihad. Mikel Arteta explained this decision by the player's fatigue, caused by the lack of training prior to the match.

In the current season, the 22-year-old Saka has scored 16 goals and provided 13 assists in 38 matches for Arsenal across all competitions.
