Saka, who missed out after a hamstring injury last season for four months, was kicked out in the 53rd minute.
Also, Martin Odegard was removed towards the end of the first half due to a shoulder injury, giving Arsenal two major issues ahead of next week’s clash with champion Liverpool.
“Martin looks like a shoulder problem, so we need to scan tomorrow and realize how bad it is,” Arteta told Sky Sports after the match.
“And Bukayo had to go off after sprinting. As he was wrestling with the defender, he felt something with the hamstring I think. I think it’s on the other side, but it’s not good.”

Arteta has confirmed that he is not the same hamstring that he has shut out Saka for a good portion of last season, but the 23-year-old and Odegaard will be on the sidelines for Kai Havertz, who is injured in his knee.
“I don’t know (how long they go out). We’ve already been big players for us and now we’ve lost Bukayo and Martin,” he said.
“That’s why the team has to be well equipped. It’s going to be a long season and we’ll need a lot of players to achieve what we want.”
Things got even better after Jurrien Timber and Saka goals rose 2-0 on a break.
Viktor Gyoker then scored the club’s first goal after halftime, making Arsenal fans 3-0 in ecstasy.
Max Dowman made his Premier League debut, and the 15-year-old was lively and earned a penalty in the time of injury.

Despite Gyoker’s goals and promising exhibits from Dowman, the injuries to Saka and Odegaard were contaminated on this occasion.
He then had not taken action for three months, three months, but as a result, he lost 19 games.
Saka’s alternative will also be a major concern for England’s manager Thomas Touchel. The three lions will have two World Cup qualifiers to face Andorra and Serbia in September.
The Gunner has another game before its international break. They will travel to Anfield and face defending Premier League champions Liverpool on August 31st.
It may be early in the season, but that conflict could prove important in the title race that comes at the end of the season.
Arsenal fans will need to wait for details on Saka and Odegard’s fitness before fixtures.
