Saka will have to keep on running says Arteta

MIKEL ARTETA has told Bukayo Saka he will have to carry on going like a marathon runner.

Saka, 19, has become invaluable to Arsenal’s season, he was the Europa League hero in Athens on Thursday night and even the manager admits he would “ideally” need a rest ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Leicester.

But Arteta insists players can easily make themselves tired by thinking too much about fatigue levels and says Saka will have to keep on going in a vital few weeks for the club.

The Gunners starlet has arguably become the most important player at the Emirates.
