Arsenal Receive Saka Fitness Boost for North London Derby as Trossard Doubt Lingers

Standard Sport reports Saka should be available for Sunday, easing concern after he limped off at Wolves.

Overview

  • After on‑pitch treatment for a knee issue at Molineux, Bukayo Saka was substituted, then reported as fine and carried out BBC post‑match media duties.
  • Leandro Trossard, who replaced Saka, later left the field following a collision with Santiago Bueno, leaving his status for Tottenham uncertain.
  • Arsenal let a 2-0 lead slip in a 2-2 draw at Wolves, conceding a stoppage‑time equaliser shortly after Riccardo Calafiori came on for the injured Trossard.
  • Saka opened the scoring with a close‑range header as he continues his return from a recent hip problem following a new five‑year deal earlier in the week.
  • The dropped points give Manchester City the chance to cut the gap to two points if they win their game in hand ahead of Sunday’s derby.
