Saka, a 23-year-old England international, appeared to be injured after a challenging tackle from Leif Davis, which resulted in a straight red card for the Ipswich defender. Despite receiving on-field treatment, Saka was eventually substituted in the 57th minute.

Arteta expressed relief that Saka's injury doesn't seem serious, stating that he was "sore" but not seriously hurt. In a press conference, Arteta explained that the tackle was not intentional and was a result of the Ipswich player not being able to react in time.

Saka had recently returned to action after missing three months due to a hamstring injury he sustained in a previous match against Crystal Palace.
