Arsenal's reliance on Bukayo Saka exposed in defeat to Lens

Posted : 04 October 2023
Arsenal faced a significant setback in their recent match against Lens, losing 2-1, which highlighted their heavy reliance on Bukayo Saka. Saka played a crucial role in the opening goal, assisting Gabriel Jesus, but was forced off due to injury in the 34th minute shortly after Lens had equalized.
 
Without Saka, Arsenal struggled to maintain their attacking threat, demonstrating their dependence on the young winger. Saka has evolved into one of Europe's top wingers and signed a new four-year contract with Arsenal in May.
 
Despite recent fitness concerns, Saka started the match in France. Mikel Arteta defended his decision, stating that Saka had felt fit before the game. However, questions arose about starting him with a crucial match against Manchester City on the horizon.
 
Saka's absence from the team is a significant drop in quality, and Arsenal needs to better manage his workload. Last season, he played a high number of minutes, contrasting with Manchester City's approach of rotating players.
 
Arsenal's performance against Lens highlighted their need for improved squad depth and better management of their players' fitness. Saka's teammates must step up in his absence, as demonstrated by their struggles in the match.
