Saka appeared to roll his ankle awkwardly around inside the final 10 minutes.

He then went down again before receiving treatment from the Arsenal medical team.

Ultimately, Arteta chose to withdraw Saka, replacing him with Jakub Kiwior as his side protected their 2-0 lead.

Arsenal fans had been treated to a stunning showing from the England star before his injury.

Saka set up Leandro Trossard for the opening goal at the Emirates Stadium.

He then got in on the act himself after the hour mark, scoring his sixth goal of the season to double the home side’s lead.

However, he failed to see out the match and was even booked by referee Istvan Kovacs as he left the field.

His injury comes just days before Arsenal return to Premier League action against Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
