US EditionBukayo Saka injured in warm-up ahead of Arsenal's Premier League game at Leeds
- In a last-minute change before kickoff, Bukayo Saka was ruled out of Arsenal's match at Leeds after a warm-up injury, with Noni Madueke replacing him in the lineup.
- Having been rested midweek for Arsenal's Champions League tie, Bukayo Saka was a late scratch before the Leeds match after injury during warmup.
- With Christian Norgaard added to the bench, Viktor Gyokeres led the line, and Kai Havertz started his first league game in nearly a year after scoring Wednesday, as Saka was ruled out.
- Earlier on matchday, Mikel Merino was excluded from the squad with a foot issue that requires specialist tests, altering Arsenal's available options among substitutes before Saka's late withdrawal.
- Given a three-match winless run, Arsenal's lead at the top cut to four points, and Saka's fitness also matters for England's World Cup plans, as he scored four goals in 21 league games.
