Mikel Arteta has given an update on Bukayo Saka's condition after he limped out of Arsenal's goalless draw at Manchester City on Sunday.
The winger hobbled off late on at the Etihad Stadium after struggling to get into the game for long periods.
It was his first match since he pulled out of the England squad that faced Brazil and Belgium last week, and raised further concerns about his fitness ahead of the title run-in.
Arteta revealed that Saka is not a major concern for Arsenal's home clash with Luton on Wednesday night, but refused to confirm whether he will be ready to start.
'He is fine. We haven't trained, just recovery,' he said at his pre-match press conference.
'We have a short light session to prepare the game. We will see if he is in the best condition to start the game or not.'

Aterta needs to rest saka sometimes and play others. There is enough back up for that position . Now that Kai has been deployed as a striker, Jesus can play in Saka’s position. That’s where he has always played when he was at city. There is Viera who has also done brilliantly when fit. There is Reise Nelson who can also play in that position and there is Trossard who can play across that front line. Arteta just needs to trust these guys and give them game time
