Saka’s injury: Arsenal player that could step into winger’s shoe

Former Manchester United star Gary Neville has named the Arsenal player that could step into Bukayo Saka’s shoe after the England star sustained injury against Leeds United.

Neville in a message to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, advised him to replace Saka with former Chelsea star Noni Madueke in his starting XI.

Saka is expected to be on the sidelines when Arsenal play against Premier League champions Liverpool at Anfield next weekend.

Neville opined that Madueke, who arrived at Arsenal from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, should switch flanks and start in Saka’s position on Sunday against Arne Slot’s side.

In a statement via Sky Sports, Neville said Eberechi Eze should come in on the left-hand side while Viktoh Gyokeres should play up front.

Madueke was clinical for Arsenal during their game against Leeds United which ended in a 5-0 victory for the Gunners.

The former Chelsea star, who many Gunners fans had criticised his transfer to Emirates Stadium could end up becoming a key player at the North London club.

Recall that Madueke had failed to impress at Stamford Bridge, which was part of the reasons the Blues manager Enzo Maresca gave approval on his exit this summer.
