Bukayo Saka lasted just 25 minutes of Arsenal's clash against Crystal Palace before being forced off with an injury. After a frantic start to the match which saw the Gunners race into a 2-1 lead, the winger fell to the ground and clutched his right hamstring before being substituted.

The England international - who has provided five goals and 10 assists in the league - was swiftly replaced by Belgian teammate Leandro Trossard. Though the nature of Saka's injury has not yet been confirmed, Arsenal fans will be hoping it's not a recurrence of the hamstring injury back in October.
During the international break that month, the winger was forced to withdraw from the England squad after sustaining the injury in their clash against Greece. That hamstring issue kept the 23-year-old sidelined for 39 days - a period which included their disappointing 2-0 defeat by Bournemouth.
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was forced off with an injury during his side's trip to Selhurst Park. Saka lasted just 25 minutes of the clash against Crystal Palace before being withdrawn. With clashes against Man United and rivals Tottenham in the new year, Mikel Arteta will be hopeful that it's not the same issue for the Arsenal wide-man.
Prior to the injury to Saka, the Gunners made a bright start to the trip to Selhurst Park - with Gabriel Jesus scoring after just six minutes on the night. The Brazilian arrived at the back-post to poke home from close range after defender Gabriel Magalhaes got a small nick on the cross.
