‘We need to be careful’ Arteta explains why he subbed off Bukayo Saka

Saka was withdrawn at halftime despite a strong first-half display, with Arteta explaining that the winger's recent return from injury requires careful management. The manager emphasized that while Saka made a significant impact, the team must prioritize his long-term fitness to ensure he remains available for the decisive part of the campaign.

"We have to protect him. We need to ramp up his load but we need to be careful," Arteta stated regarding the decision to bring on Noni Madueke. The manager highlighted that Saka's hunger and performance level were high, but the physical demands of the season necessitated a cautious approach to avoid further setbacks. akupunkturabielsko.pl
