Bukayo Saka's injury concern against Wolves appears to be nothing significant to fret about, despite the winger being withdrawn once more at Molineux. Leandro Trossard came on for Saka after he hobbled off with what looked like a problem with his knee. The Arsenal star received treatment on the field in the second half before being taken off, but he is not believed to be injured, according to the London Evening Standard.
There was encouraging news following the match regarding his fitness for the north London derby against Tottenham on Sunday, as he'll be fine going forward. Saka was also present for post-match duties after the 2-2 draw, which is another indicator that he should remain available for the crucial derby clash.

Meanwhile, Trossard, originally selected on the bench by Mikel Arteta, was also forced off in added time on Wednesday evening. He was substituted by Riccardo Calafiori, who watched the ball deflect off him for Wolves' late and costly leveller.

The extent of a possible injury to Trossard is yet to be established, though it's suggested he could be a doubt to face Spurs.

Arsenal ultimately surrendered more points in the Premier League title battle, being held to a 2-2 draw despite holding a two-goal lead.
The Gunners had been in front for the majority of the match, with Saka breaking the deadlock with a close-range header after just four minutes.
Piero Hincapie's strike, which VAR determined to be onside, doubled the advantage for the visitors. However, Hugo Bueno's stunning curled strike into the top corner dragged Wolves back into the contest, and ultimately Arsenal buckled under the pressure in added time, with David Raya and Gabriel becoming entangled as Samuel Edozie hammered home.

Speaking to the BBC following the frustrating draw, Saka said: "Disappointed. Not much else to say. There was a big difference in how we played in the first half and the second half. We dropped our standards and we got punished for it.
"Time to focus on ourselves, improve our standards and improve our performances and it is in our control."
The outcome has handed Manchester City a chance to narrow the deficit to two points before the north London derby, as Pep Guardiola's team will host Newcastle on Saturday evening.
