Arsenal manager Arteta uncertain if Saka will be available for Liverpool showdown

Nevertheless, they will face the league leaders at home in the Premier League without winger Saka.

The England international was left out of the squad for Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

"I don't know, sorry, he wasn't able to train yet so that's unlikely," the Spaniard said of Saka, speaking to Amazon Prime Video Sport.

He then added on Riccardo Calafiori, who had to come off in the game against Shakhtar: "Riccy, I don't know, he felt something and could not continue playing so (it's a) bit of a worry."
