Arteta on Saka and Martinelli

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided good news on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli following the win over Sheffield United.



The Gunners continued their stunning form in the Premier League with a resounding 6-0 triumph over the Blades on the road.

Bukayo Saka continued his fine form with another two assists, but he was surprisingly substituted at the half-time interval.

When asked for an update after the game, Arteta said that he was feeling a bit sick and it was also an ideal opportunity for Fabio Vieira.

He said: "He was feeling a bit sick and as well we have Fabio who we have to give minutes. It was great opportunity [for us]."

Meanwhile, when asked about the condition of Martinelli, Arteta said that it was a slight cut on his foot which forced him off.

He added: "We had a little issue with Gabi Martinelli as well, he had a slight cut on his foot and we have to wait and see how he is."
