Arteta gives update on Martinelli after Sheffield United injury, explains early Saka substitution

Speaking about his decision to take off Bukayo Saka at half-time against Sheffield United and the state of Gabriel Martinelli, Mikel Arteta said: "He (Bukayo) was feeling a bit sick.

"As well we have Fabio (Vieira) who we needed to give minutes. We had a little issue with Gabi Martinelli. He had a little cut in his foot. We need to see how it is."

It doesn't appear that the injury sustained by Martinelli is that bad to be scared of him being out for a long period. Saka, meanwhile, should recover in time for the Brentford game at the weekend.

Both the forwards contributed in the 6-0 battering, with Gabi scoring and assisting and Saka managing two assists.
