Arteta explains Saka halftime substitution

Saka had a strong first half against Fulham, but Arteta pulled him off to protect the winger, who has a history of injuries. The manager emphasized that while Saka was influential, the team must prioritize his fitness for the final stretch of the campaign.

"He certainly made a difference... We have to protect him," Arteta stated. "We need to ramp up his load but we need to be careful." This decision ensures Saka remains available for the decisive stages of the season. esporist.com
