BUKAYO SAKA NAMES MESUT ÖZIL BEST ARSENAL TEAMMATE EVER
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka names Mesut Özil as the best teammate he has ever played with. The England international made his professional debut alongside the German playmaker back in 2018.

Rewinding the clock to the beginning of his Arsenal career, Bukayo Saka named Mesut Özil his best teammate ever, ignoring a wealth of talented players in favour of a controversial figure in the club's recent past.
Together with Özil, Saka made his Arsenal debut in December 2018. The then-17-year-old was named Player of the Match in a match determined by the German playmaker's assist for the game's lone goal, lining up on the left wing in a significantly altered starting lineup for a Europa League matchup against Qarabağ FK.
While Özil has long ago moved out of north London, Saka is still a mainstay of Arsenal's first team lineup nearly seven years later.
When asked by BBC Radio 5 Live to choose his favourite teammate this week, Saka responded, "High-quality player." "It is entertaining to watch him and play with him."
Managing Özil was not always enjoyable for Mikel Arteta.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic forced football to halt worldwide, the former Real Madrid midfielder would make the majority of his 17 appearances with Saka in the first part of the 2019–20 season. Özil had left Arteta's team by the time the Premier League started "Project Restart," which allowed games to resume in empty stadiums.
It is still unclear what exactly caused this drastic shift in position. A mainstay of Arteta's early rule, Özil had previously stirred up some controversy with a few politically heated remarks. According to reports, the club's highest-paid player was one of a select few who refused to take a pay cut during the pandemic's peak, but his manager maintained that this had nothing to do with his unexpected banishment.
Arteta said, "To be honest, I accept full responsibility," after excluding Özil from the team's Premier League roster for the 2020–21 campaign. "I must be the one encouraging the players to perform at their highest level. I am accountable for it. It has nothing to do with any actions or, as I have read, the salary reductions.
After questioning a lack of "loyalty" and sniping from the sidelines, Özil did not take the decision well. In January 2021, he finally joined Fenerbahçe on a free transfer.
Some of Saka's present comrades may be engaging in a similar blame game. Martin Ødegaard has already scored more Premier League goals than Özil ever did, although playing 3,000 fewer minutes, and several of his England teammates, most notably Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, have a serious chance to be named his most gifted teammate.
ARSENAL INJURY CONCERN RISES AS GABRIEL MAGALHAES LEAVES FIELD WITH GROIN
Arsenal face an anxious wait after defender Gabriel Magalhaes was substituted with a groin injury while playing for Brazil against Senegal at the Emirates, a major blow ahead of key fixtures.

After Brazil replaced Gabriel Magalhaes due to an injury during their friendly match against Senegal, Arsenal would have to wait anxiously.
Under the lights at the Emirates, Carlo Ancelotti hooked the towering center-back, who is playing at his peak for The Gunners, while he held his groin.
He took a knock in the 63rd minute of the game in North London, where he has shown some outstanding play this season, and seemed to be in some discomfort.
Gabriel, surrounded by medical personnel, walked slowly off the field and appeared disappointed when Roma defender Wesley took his place.
As the 27-year-old hobbled behind the goal while having lengthy conversations with the national team's medical staff, he was greeted with thunderous ovation.
Mikel Arteta will be concerned because he could lose his star centre-back in the upcoming weeks when they play Chelsea, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich.
Due to an injury, Brazil substituted Gabriel Magalhaes against Senegal on Saturday.
As he hobbled off the field at The Emirates, the Brazilian seemed a little uncomfortable.
The defender had contributed to an outstanding Brazil performance, the most recent in a series of the country's games played at the Emirates.
Gabriel's involvement is expected to add value for any Arsenal supporters who wish to visit the Selecao, who have already qualified for the World Cup and were playing Senegal in a friendly.
After recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in April that kept him out for months, the defender now faces a stint on the injury table.
With seven clean sheets in 11 games this season, Gabriel has been essential to Arsenal's unbeatable performances. Having already scored twice for Arteta's team, he has also been a constant menace moving forward.
RICCARDO CALAFIORI RETURNS TO ARSENAL AS ITALY CLARIFY PLAYER’S INJURY SITUATION
Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori has left the Italy camp and returned to London with a hip injury. The Gunners hope it's not serious as the key player is assessed by club staff ahead of the crucial North London derby.

Riccardo Calafiori's early return to north London from international duty has delivered Arsenal yet another injury setback.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the defender quit the Italian national team on Saturday in preparation for Sunday night's 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Norway.
"Riccardo Calafiori has left the Italy camp today and returns to London to be assessed by Arsenal experts," Romano posted on social media to announce the news.
Additionally, he mentioned that Gennaro Gattuso, the coach of Italy, had stated: "He tried to be available, but he can’t force anymore," in reference to Calafiori-related issues.
It is believed that Calafiori's return to the English capital has been communicated to Arsenal staff, who do not anticipate any significant issues. According to Italian media, the 23-year-old 'ignored' Arsenal's invitation to remain in London during the international break.
Having started in all 11 of the Gunners' Premier League games so far this season, the youthful player has played a significant role in Mikel Arteta's table-topping team.
It makes sense that Arsenal would want to minimise any more problems before a busy schedule of games, given that they have had to deal with several injuries to gain a four-point lead over second-place Manchester City.
Calafiori reportedly trained alone before missing the game against Moldova the next night, according to reports from Italy on Wednesday. He is said to have suffered a hip injury, but it is not believed to be very serious.
In an effort to avoid making matters worse, La Repubblica further asserted that Arsenal had wanted Calafiori to stay away from his country's international squad in order to recuperate from his hip ailment. But the report also claimed that Gattuso and Gianluigi Buffon, the delegation chairman, pushed players to put the national team first in order to compete for a spot at the World Cup in North America next summer.
When Arsenal returns to Premier League action on Sunday, November 23, against fierce rivals Tottenham, they expect to welcome back a number of first-team players.
Both Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke have made significant strides in their recovery from their knee injuries. Although it was reported that both could have played in Tuesday night's match between Arsenal U21S and Cardiff City, neither man attended the 3-1 Football League Trophy loss.
Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, is still "some distance away" from making his own comeback, according to Norway manager Stale Solbakken. Gabriel Jesus, who had ACL surgery in late January, is also expected to return before the new year.
In other news, Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokeres are both recuperating from groin and hamstring strains they suffered before the international break.
