Mikel Arteta insisted that Bukayo Saka's recent thigh injury was real, telling a reporter that the club can show his MRI scan, after the Arsenal star pulled out of England's Nations League squad two weeks ago.
Saka was pivotal in the Gunners' inspiring 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, scoring once and providing an assist to Thomas Partey for their second goal.
The 23-year-old has now logged four goals and eight assists in 11 Premier League games this season - only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has more goal contributions (14).
