Worrying Bukayo Saka injury update as Arsenal star spotted with ankle strapped with ice after Leif Davis challenge

Bukayo Saka had tied his ankle with ice after he was at the end of the dangerous tackle of Leif Davis during the collision of Arsenal in Ipswich.

The full-back of the tractor boys brought an annoying challenge to Saka that saw him only 32 minutes in the Premier League match.

Davis took his studs along the back of Saka's heel while trying to win the ball of the Gunners wing player.

Referee Chris Kavanagh had no choice but to reach his red card after he had seen the challenge right in front of him.

VAR briefly checked the decision and confirmed that Kavanagh was right to send Davis for an early shower.

A statement on the Premier League Match Center X account was: “The call from Red Card's referee to Davis for serious fault game was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the challenge considered the safety of an opponent.”

Davis knew the severity of his actions and even apologized to Saka while he walked off the field.

Arsenal -fans held their breath while Saka wriggled after the challenge in pain in pain -with many worried that he could miss Arsenal's upcoming semi -final of the Champions League with injury.

He saw the rest of half and was immersed in the 57th minute.

Arsenal medics then fixed his ankle with ice.

Piers Morgan smoked: “Davis's Walp appeta who could have ended the season of Saka … and now fans of Ipswich don't buoy the victim. Pathetic clowns.”

They wrote on social media: “God, I hope Saka is not injured”.

While another added: “Saka is still injured !!!! God please !!!! I can't do it !!!!!”

Fortunately, the 23-year-old was able to continue on the field after treatment, much to the relief of other fans.

One posted: “So Saka, so happy that he was not seriously injured there.

“Feet, from behind, no chance to get the ball. Terrible tackle. No intention to hurt Saka. A player who just wanted to get himself off the field.”

Saka has already missed 19 games with a hamstring injury this season and only returned to action last month.

The Gunners will need all their stars when they welcome Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium for the first leg of their Champions League Semi final later this month.

For now, the full focus is on the better of Ipswich.

Something that was made much easier before Mikel Arteta's side after the resignation of Davis.

While the North London people already sail 2-0 when the challenge entered.

Goals of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard meant that Arsenal was 2-0 during the break.
