(Reuters) - Arsenal's hopes of reaching the Europa League semi-finals suffered another blow after winger Bukayo Saka suffered a thigh issue against Sheffield United, adding to manager Mikel Arteta's selection problems ahead of Thursday's trip to Slavia Prague.

Saka limped off in the 69th minute of Sunday's 3-0 Premier League win and Arteta said the England international's fitness would be assessed in the coming days.
