No.”Arsenal will definitely remain without Bukayo Saka, who is set for further tests to determine the extent of the quad injury he suffered in the Champions League clash with Bayern Munich last week.“He needs another scan to see how the amount of fluid was resolving,” Arteta said. “After we will know more about it.”Still out along with Saka is William Saliba, who continues to work his way back to fitness after exacerbating a long-term back injury at the World Cup over the summer.Saliba avoided surgery but was expected to be sidelined for a long period and has yet to play for Arsenal this season, with further tests expected recently to check on his progress after he resumed individual training out on the grass at London Colney.
