Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that forward Bukayo Saka will not participate in the crucial match against Manchester City on April 19 due to an injury. Saka last played in the Carabao Cup final on March 22, where Arsenal lost 2-0 to City. He has since returned from international duty with England but has not recovered in time for this significant Premier League clash. This match is critical as Arsenal sits atop the league standings, six points ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand. In his pre-match remarks, Arteta mentioned that Saka is just beginning his recovery process. Additionally, the Gunners are facing multiple injury concerns, including Noni Madueke, who is also a doubt for the match. The last encounter between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw, with Erling Haaland scoring early and Gabriel Martinelli equalizing in stoppage time.
