Arsenal's title charge has been nervy, as the Gunners had dropped three straight Premier League results coming into their meeting with Leeds on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta's side sported a four-point lead over second-placed Man City at the top of the league table heading into the weekend, trimmed by a run of two draws and one defeat over their recent trio of domestic games.
Just as the team began to get fully healthy, they were dealt another blow as one of the club's biggest stars suffered an innocuous injury just before kickoff.
The Sporting News has the latest details on the injury to Bukayo Saka and what we know.

Bukayo Saka injury news, updates after injury in warmup
About 15 minutes before kickoff of Arsenal's match with Leeds United on Saturday, January 31, multiple reports claimed that Bukayo Saka was out of the starting lineup.
The reports claimed that Saka had suffered an injury, and was replaced by Noni Madueke in the XI. Christian Norgaard, the extra man traveling for Arsenal, was promoted to the bench to maintain the proper numbers.
It was not immediately known what the nature of Saka's injury was. The Sporting News will update this story as more information becomes available.
Arsenal injury list
Bukayo Saka
- Injury: Unknown
- Expected return date: TBD
The Arsenal star has not scored a goal in nine straight Premier League matches, and while hoping to stop that skid before reaching double digits, he went down with an injury.
Saka was yanked from the Arsenal starting lineup after suffering an injury during the warmups prior to their January 31 match against Leeds United, replaced by Noni Madueke. It is not yet known what his injury is or the extent of the issue.
Max Dowman
- Injury: Ankle
- Expected return date: February 14 (vs. Wigan Athletic)
Shuttled back and forth between Arsenal's first team and the U-21 side, Dowman picked up an ankle injury in the youth team's victory over Manchester United in early December. Speaking on January 13, Arteta said Dowman was likely looking at a similar layoff to Mosquera.
