Arsenal's first home Premier League match of the season was marred by injuries to key players Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard during their game against Leeds. Saka left the pitch gingerly early in the second half, appearing to signal discomfort in his left hamstring while receiving treatment from the club's physio. He was subsequently replaced by Leandro Trossard.

Ødegaard, the Gunners' captain, was forced off the field towards the end of the first half due to a shoulder injury. Despite his efforts to continue after landing awkwardly, he was substituted for Ethan Nwaneri.

At the time of Saka's exit, Arsenal was leading 3-0. Saka had contributed to the scoreline with a well-placed strike, adding to goals from Jurrien Timber and Viktor Gyökeres. Timber later scored his second goal of the match, bringing Arsenal's tally to four shortly after Saka's departure.

The team will be keen to monitor the conditions of both players as they prepare for upcoming fixtures. Updates on their injuries are expected to be released soon.
