Bukayo Saka has a “good opportunity” to play against Crystal Palace on Sunday, despite suffering an ankle injury against Ipsuic.
Saka 4-0 at the Port-Road Stadium in the second half after it was at the end of the game against Ipswitch-Fool-Leff Davis, who received a red card.
The England wing has just returned from a long-term spinal problem, with president Michael Arteta being sure Saka has not suffered a huge loss.
“We have to wait and see how it will react after the meeting, but nothing is very serious. I think tomorrow it will have a good chance of playing,” Arteta said.

he shouldn’t think about the rest of Saka
Arteta also rejected the idea of Saka’s rest in the Champions League semi-finals of Tuesday’s Champions League semi-finals against Paris Sainter.
“We can’t think about these terms. When the players are gymnastics and want to play, they have to play. They are at their best when they play and have unity at their levels and are physically and emotionally good,” he said.
“If they don’t, there’s no discussion. If they’re not in a good position, we won’t play with them. But if they are them, we’ll play with them.

Arsenal haven’t ruled out this weekend with their future rivals PSG.
And Arteta admitted that she welcomed the holiday to prepare for a collision with the men of Luis Enrique. “We have more days, but the amount of options are not so many, especially because the players come from and the amount of minutes they can play.
“It’s what we have. Let’s take the opportunity first of all,” he said. Tomorrow we have the right to win the game against a really good club, they really have a good record at home and then we have time to prepare PSG.
Arsenal will remain as Liverpool’s closest rival, but the losing to Palace will mean that the Mercedes has been beaten.
“Our encouragement is to take our game and do our best to continue our running that we are now, and the rest we can’t control,” Arteta said.
