Saka played 63 minutes of our 2-0 win away to Port Vale in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, before being replaced by Max Dowman, but Mikel explained that the substitution was always part of the plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, nothing to report there,\u201d he said. \u201cI think he played the games that we anticipated, he did well, he feels good and he will be training the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lastly, Arteta confirmed that the scan hasn\u2019t yet taken place on Noni Madueke\u2019s injury, after he made way at half-time of our 1-1 draw at home to Manchester City last weekend.<\/p>\n
There were no updates provided on our other absentees, which are Piero Hincapie (groin), Kai Havertz (knee) and Gabriel Jesus (knee).<\/p>\n
