Bukayo Saka is OUT of Arsenal’s squad to face Luton – as Mikel Arteta makes FIVE changes to his starting XI from their Manchester City stalemate

Bukayo Saka has been left out of Arsenal’s squad for Wednesday night’s Premier League clash against Luton. 

The 22-year-old appeared to be suffering with an injury when he left the field in the 78th minute of the Gunners’ 0-0 draw with Manchester City last weekend. 

Mikel Arteta had given an update on the winger during the week, revealing that he was not a major injury concern for the game against the Hatters. 

But he has opted to omit the forward from a much-changed roster, with a starting XI absent of the likes of Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus. 

Saka joined the rest of his team-mates as they arrived at the Emirates for the fixture that could see them return to the top of the league.

Arsenal fell two points behind Liverpool following their draw at the Etihad but could return to the summit with a victory ahead of the Reds’ game against Sheffield United on Thursday. 

Saka’s durability has been a hallmark of his recent resurgence as, prior to Wednesday, he had featured in 108 of the last 109 league games for Arteta’s side stretching back to the 2020/21 campaign.
