During Arsenal’s 6-0 victory over Sheffield United in the Premier League on Monday, Saka was substituted at halftime, while Martinelli left the field in the 64th minute due to injury. Arsenal manager Arteta explained that Saka was feeling unwell after the first half, leading to his substitution, while Martinelli sustained a minor injury that prevented him from continuing.
MANAGER’S COMMENTS
Following the match, Arteta addressed the media, shedding light on his decisions regarding the two players: “Bukayo was feeling sick and not feeling right. With Martinelli, it was a slight cut so we have to see how he is.”
