Saka, a 23-year-old England international, was involved in a challenge with Leif Davis that resulted in a red card for the Ipswich defender. He received on-field treatment but continued playing before being substituted in the 57th minute.

Arteta downplayed concerns about Saka's injury, saying that he was "sore" but didn't seem too serious. In a press conference, he noted that the tackle was "dangerous" but not intentional.

Saka had only recently returned to action after missing three months due to a hamstring injury. The incident occurred as he was trying to recover from a previous injury that kept him out for several months.

Arteta expressed confidence that Saka would be able to continue playing without any major issues, citing the fact that he was able to continue playing despite the incident.
