Update:

Buakyo Saka left the Arsenal warmup at Elland Road ahead of the team’s game against Leeds United, forcing manager Mikel Arteta into a late change to his starting lineup.

Noni Madueke was drafted in at the last minute after Buakyo Saka was seen struggling during the warmup in Yorkshire.

What injury does Saka have?

At the time of writing, nothing is known about the injury to Saka. A statement from Arsenal before kick-off simply said that the player “felt something” and was replaced.
