Arsenal lose Bukayo Saka in festive hammerblow as star limps off at Crystal Palace

Bukayo Saka has been taken off injured in the first half of Arsenal's game at Crystal Palace. Just before the 25-minute mark, the forward played a short pass before immediately holding the back of his right leg.

Saka wasted no time in signalling to the bench for help, and was treated for a number of minutes before being helped to his feet.

But while the 23-year-old was able to limp off without the use of a stretcher, he looked anything but comfortable as he was replaced by Leandro Trossard.

Initially, Sky Sports oundit Jamie Carragher feared the England star was holding his hamstring. However, his subsequent treatment suggested a knee problem, and one which could represent a hammer blow for his side.
