Bukayo Saka was forced off injured early in the first half of Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the Champions League

Mikel Arteta admits there is "concern" within Arsenal over the severity of Bukayo Saka's injury.

The winger was forced off inside the opening 10 minutes of the Gunners' 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich as Declan Rice snatched a late point at the Allianz Arena.

Arteta said following his side's 82-minute leveller: "They are a bit concerned. A player who has to come off with a really sharp pain is never good news but we have to wait and see.

"The level of intensity this game requires as well is something incredible. You could see it last night in the PSG vs Barcelona game what happened.

"This is man-to-man for 96 minutes, every action, there is no breathing, the stress, the quality, the intensity, the level that you need is unbelievable.

"It's the highest level and these things happen, unfortunately."

Overall, Arteta was happy with Arsenal's front-foot approach, adding: "We take the draw, that doesn't mean that we are keen to win the game.

"You could see that right from the beginning, the mindset, the purpose and the intention that the team has, to be very dominant, to come here and cause problems to Bayern, to press them and to attack them, and that's certainly what we've done. I think we were the better team in the first 25 minutes, caught the ball, unfortunately we got the injury of Bukayo, which was a big setback."

Meanwhile, match-saving hero Rice claims man of the match Harry Kane is well worthy of the Ballon d'Or.

Rice said: "He is the clear winner. His numbers speak for themselves, the year he has had has been remarkable.

"When you play with him you realise how good he is and when you play against him you see how much of a pain it is.

"He is ridiculous, such a good player and I am lucky I can play with him, not so lucky I have to play against him."
