Arsenal Forward Bukayo Saka Forced Off Early with Apparent Leg Injury Against Bayern Munich
Mikel Arteta said Arsenal are waiting for further assessment after the winger left with a quadriceps injury and was replaced by Eberechi Eze.
- On Wednesday, Oct 21, Arsenal star Bukayo Saka suffered an apparent thigh injury just 10 minutes into the UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich, forcing an early substitution.
- Eberechi Eze immediately replaced the limping Saka after he departed the field dejected, having started on the bench following his loss of position to Noni Madueke after a Nottingham Forest winner last weekend.
- Shortly after entering, Eze fired the opening goal into the far corner at the Allianz Arena, with VAR confirming the strike to put Arsenal 1-0 ahead against Bayern.

- The 25-year-old has struggled with fitness throughout his career; Saka previously missed over 20 games in 2025 due to hamstring issues and dealt with an Achilles problem last season.
