Gunners have faced long and tough campaign, in which they led the Premier League but stumbled at the end. Manchester City took advantage of the slip to take the top spot with just four games seperating them.
On Sunday, Mikel Arteta’s men produced a fine performance against Newcastle United to keep the pressure on City at the top of the table. But during the match, Bukayo Saka looked completely exhausted.
Journalist Charles Watts pointed out in the first-half and tweeted:-
“Saka just came over and asked Gary O’Driscoll for some painkillers while pointing at his ankle. O’Driscoll said no, will presumably give him some at half-time.”
Due to fatigue, Saka has failed to record a goal contribution in their last three games. The English forward has scored 13 goals and 11 assists in this season.
Both Martinelli and Saka have dropped in last few matches and due to which Arsenal have lost their momentum. Arteta could now seek to manage the youngsters as they enter season’s conclusion.
