<h2>What is the latest on Saka's fitness?</h2>
<div class="home-article-detail__content-panel">
<div class="home-content-panel__details">
<p>The fitness of Saka was the key talking point ahead of Double Gameweek 7, with the England international struggling with an ongoing Achilles niggle.</p>
<p>Saka made the starting 11, after having been taken out of 727,000 FPL teams, and punished sellers by scoring against Bournemouth.</p>
<p>He was however subbed off after 76 minutes, with a foot injury the apparent cause this time.</p>
<p>Mikel Arteta had this to say post-match:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I don’t know yet I haven’t had a chance to speak to him, I think this one was a stamp, it wasn’t the same area, I don’t know and Gabi [Jesus] was limping after the game, let’s see how they are."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Saka was fit enough to start on Tuesday, but only lasted 34 minutes, and Arteta said it 'didn't look good':</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"He tried to backheel a ball in the first half. He felt something. It was muscular. He was uncomfortable and we had to take him off. "We don't know anything more than that. It was big enough not to allow him to play the rest of the game and that is a worry for us."</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>Should I sell Saka in FPL?</h2>
<p>Given that Arsenal's next two fixtures read Manchester City and Chelsea, there are worse times to cut your losses on an Arsenal asset.</p>
<p>Saka has impressed so far this season however, with seven attacking returns in seven apperances.</p>
<p>Based on what we've heard from Arteta though, it sounds as if Saka is a doubt for the weekend, and given his FPL price, there are plenty of reasons to look elsewhere for the next couple of gameweeks at least.</p>
<p>Home games against newly promoted Sheffield United and Burnley are on the horizon however, either side of tough trip to Newcastle in Gameweek 11.</p>
<p>Therefore, the decision will also be team dependent in terms of when you're playing your wildcard, and whether or not you plan to bring Saka back in Gameweek 10.</p>
