We aren’t sure how long Saka is going to survive with the amount of physical punishment he gets on a week-to-week basis, but there were four challenges on Saka against Sevilla inside the first 15 minutes – none were yellow cards.
Saka was forced off again after he landed awkwardly on his ankle. The winger tried to carry on late but was replaced.
