Mikel Arteta confirms Bukayo Saka picked up a 'pretty bad knock' during 4-0 win against Bournemouth... but Gunners boss is 'hopeful' winger will be available for RC Lens clash

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka picked up a 'pretty bad knock' during their 4-0 win over Bournemouth.

The Gunners maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season thanks to goals from Saka, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Ben White.

The result helped lift Arteta's side up to third in the league table and just one point behind leaders Man City - however it wasn't all good news for the Gunners.

Midway through the second-half, Saka limped off the pitch with an apparent injury and now Arteta has confirmed that the winger took a 'bad knock'.
