Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expects Bukayo Saka to be fit for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expects Bukayo Saka to be fit for Sunday's Premier League London derby with West Ham United.

The 20-year-old was taken off in the second half against Manchester United with an apparent injury after netting his second penalty in two Premier League matches in that 3-1 success.

Fears were immediately raised over a potential layoff for Saka, but the England international has been training with the team and should be fine to line up against the Hammers.

"Hopefully he will be fine. He had some issues in the final part of the game but he has recovered well and we expect him to be fine," Arteta told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

Saka now has 11 goals and five assists to his name from 33 Premier League appearances this term and could equal a club record set by Ian Wright with another penalty in the West Ham clash.

The Gunners are still without Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney as they aim to maintain or increase their two-point lead over fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table.
