He would ultimately come off with 14 minutes left to play before lasting just 34 minutes against Lens.<\/p>\n<p>Petit added: &#8220;[Saka&#8217;s] been clearly dealing with some knocks and needed to be rested but he\u2019s kept on playing. But the issue is who could replace him? Trossard on the right-hand side maybe? Because in the Lens game Arteta played with a right-hand side of Tomiyasu and Vieira for most of the game and although I am a huge fan of Arteta, he got this wrong. It is really not good news for Arsenal to lose Saka.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How important is Saka to Arsenal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1326458\" style=\"width: 853px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/comparison-matrix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1326458\" class=\"wp-image-1326458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"843\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison.png 843w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-768x548.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-110x78.png 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-98x70.png 98w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-66x47.png 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-80x57.png 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-180x128.png 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-337x240.png 337w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-240x171.png 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-85x61.png 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-28x20.png 28w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/10\/05161051\/1326413_Arsenal-MVP-comparison-330x235.png 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1326458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Create your own comparisons with the Squawka Comparison Matrix<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the Premier League, Arteta has subbed off Saka nine times in 2023, an above average rate for players who start regularly and the fifth-most of anyone in Arsenal&#8217;s squad.
