Mikel Arteta updated on Bukayo Saka after the Arsenal star was forced against Ipswich – and opens on Jorginho’s state before clashes against Crystal Palace and PSG

Mikel Arteta revealed that Arsenal “ would wait and see ” on the physical form of Bukayo Saka before their confrontation against Crystal Palace, while offering a disturbing update on the state of Jorginho.

Saka was withdrawn with 57 minutes against Ipswich after the challenge of Leif Davis’ recklessness caught it on his Achilles in the first half – which allowed a full back a red card.

The striker sought to play but was removed by Arteta as a precaution shortly after restart and had an ice cream for his ankle when she was sitting on the bench. He was then spotted by surrounding the team’s bus by leaving the ground.

Before the first League of the Gunners against Palace to the Emirates – who could see Liverpool confirmed as champions if they suffer from defeat – Arteta revealed that English suffers from nothing “too serious” and will be used if necessary.

“We have to wait and see how he reacts after the situation,” said Arteta. “But it’s nothing too serious. If we want it, I think it will have a good chance of playing tomorrow.

However, the prospects were not as positive for Jorginho, who seemed to be the most likely replacement for the suspended Thomas Party when Arsenal faces Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the Champions League at first sight next week.

Jorginho will be absent for a few weeks after having injured his coast during the 1-1 draw with Brentford earlier this month

The boss of the Gunners said that the Brazilian, who was injured in the coast in a 1-1 draw with Brentford earlier this month, will be absent “for a few weeks”.

Arteta will make this headache in doubt about the tie, but before their gigantic help, attention is firmly by ensuring that they do not put the title back to Liverpool on Wednesday evening.

The Arne Slot team will be confirmed as champions if Palace claims victory in northern London. And although Arsenal’s arrival position is not yet confirmed, the Gunners seem to end as a finalist for the third consecutive season.

Last week, Arteta suggested that injuries and red cards left his team intended to miss the title again. When he was asked if Arsenal could have done more to challenge Liverpool, Arteta said: “There would be certain things we could have done.

“If this is not the case, you would have won all the matches, whatever the injuries, any situation, any red card, any referee’s decision. But that’s what it is.

“We are going to do an analysis of what we have done well and not so well at the end of the season.

“But probably the question would be, if you asked me in August”, with all those things that will happen to your team, where do you see your team finish? “”

“Probably (second place) would be the right answer.”
