Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been spotted on crutches exiting Selhurst Park, following his side’s victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

It came as the Gunners responded in fine fashion to their recent league struggles, where they’ve fallen off the pace in the title race.

A Gabriel Jesus brace was followed up by goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice to complete a romp.

The one downside for Arsenal in their win over Crystal Palace came in the first half though, as Bukayo Saka suffered an injury.

Bukayo Saka spotted on crutches after Arsenal injury

While Arteta gave an update on Saka’s injury, there was no certainty over the situation for the winger and the hamstring problem he suffered.

With a busy fixture schedule ahead, there is some hope that the star won’t be out for long, though that hope may have been dashed.

That’s because, following the game, Saka was spotted hobbling on crutches as he left Selhurst Park, suggesting a serious issue.

A video from ESPN reporter Joao Castelo-Branco made for bad viewing, with the winger struggling to be mobile.

It certainly hints that the forward won’t be available for Arsenal’s coming festive fixtures, with quick matches against Ipswich, Brentford and Brighton coming up.

An update is likely to come in the following days, with the availability of the 23-year-old likely to impact performance levels for the side.

Bukayo Saka’s injury record at Arsenal

In his career so far, Saka has suffered a few small injuries that have put him out of action for a game or two before he has bounced back.

The winger has been out twice this season, missing 11 games in total for both club and country with those issues.

In seasons prior there have been small tweaks, with only 17 games missed for Arsenal and England in total.

With some scans expected for the winger in the days ahead, it remains to be seen whether he will be available for selection or not.

However, it doesn’t look to be good news from the images seen after the match.
