Arsenal enjoyed an almost perfect afternoon versus Ipswich Town, coming away with a 4-0 victory.

Several Gunners stars impressed at Portman Road, with makeshift striker Leandro Trossard catching the headlines with a brace.

Despite not getting on the scoresheet, Bukayo Saka also shone on the right-hand flank, playing a part in both of Arsenal’s opening goals.

One negative for the Gunners, however, was that Saka was spotted receiving treatment after being substituted in the second half.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has since provided an update on the 26-year-old’s injury.

Mikel Arteta provides Bukayo Saka update

The Arsenal winger was left limping in the first half from Leif Davis’ red card challenge, with Saka even receiving chants from Ipswich fans despite the severity of the foul.

Luckily for Gunners fans, though, it seems like Saka’s injury isn’t as bad as some feared, with Arsenal manager Arteta easing concerns post-match.

“Bukayo Saka is in a bit of pain, but thankfully, it doesn’t look anything too serious.

“He’s fine, it looks all good.”

Arsenal will likely rest Saka ahead of PSG clash

Saka’s importance to Arsenal is simply unmatched, and they will need him fit and firing if they are to progress past PSG in Europe.

Liverpool’s inevitable Premier League title means the Gunners will have all their eggs in the Champions League basket.

With this in mind, it would be no surprise to see the England international rested against Crystal Palace, especially after his knock against Ipswich.
