  • Bukayo Saka was named in Arsenal’s starting line-up to face Leeds United on Saturday afternoon.
  • However, the England star suffered an injury in the warm-up and left the pitch with the Arsenal physio.
  • It was confirmed shortly afterwards that he was out of the match and had been replaced by Noni Madueke.
  • Saka was due to captain the team, with regular skipper Martin Odegaard on the bench, but his injury meant the armband was handed to Gabriel.
  • Arsenal headed into the game hoping to bounce back after losing 3-2 at home to Manchester United last weekend.
