Bukayo Saka has joined Arsenal's growing injury list after Mikel Arteta revealed the England forward

is struggling with a foot problem, reports AFP.  Arteta limped off in the closing stages of Sunday's 2-2 draw against north London rivals Tottenham. The 22-year-old will definitely miss Arsenal's League Cup third round tie at Brentford on Wednesday and could also be sidelined for Saturday's Premier League game against Bournemouth. If Saka is unable to feature this weekend, it will end his club-record run of 86

consecutive Premier League appearances. "He was limping quite badly after the match. We had to get him off the field, which is never a good sign. He hasn't been able to participate in the session," Arteta told

reporters on Tuesday. Saka is the latest Arsenal star to catch the injury bug after England midfielder

Declan Rice was replaced at half-time against Tottenham with a back issue. Brazil forward Gabriel

Martinelli and Belgian winger Leandro Trossard missed the derby through injury, with Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey also sidelined by long-term fitness problems.
