Bukayo Saka, a winger for Arsenal, has expressed sincere remorse to Kostas Tsimikas for their unfortunate collision that transpired during Arsenal’s 1-1 tie with Liverpool.

As Christmas approaches, Arsenal maintains its one-point lead over Liverpool atop the Premier League standings.

The fierce confrontation resulted in Mohamed Salah’s goal nullifying Gabriel Magalhaes’ initial effort. Saka’s tragic injury to Liverpool left-back Tsimikas, which ensued from their collision, was one of the most discussed events.

During a 50/50 struggle with Tsimikas, Saka unintentionally pushed the defender off the field and into Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, causing the latter to fall to the ground. Following Tsimikas’s descent to the ground, Joe Gomez assumed his position prior to his transportation to the hospital. Andy Robertson’s return is not expected until the new year, further complicating Klopp’s defensive options in light of the diagnosis of a fractured clavicle.

Saka conveyed his contrition to Tsimikas and expressed regret for the incident in an interview with Football.london following the match.

“I understand that he has been admitted to the hospital; therefore, it goes without saying that I wish to extend my sincerest apologies to him.” Obviously, I didn’t intend it that way.” Unaware of the severity of Tsimikas’s injury or his collision with Klopp, he set forth his viewpoint regarding the match, characterizing it as a reasonable challenge.

Saka acknowledged Arsenal’s disappointment at Anfield for failing to secure maximum points, notwithstanding the draw. He observed, “I believe we’re a bit frustrated, and I am as well, but I suppose it can be good when you arrive at Anfield with a loss,” praising the competitive play of both teams.

During an independent interview, Klopp offered his perspective on the precise moment of the collision, conveying his dismay at the extent of Tsimikas’s injuries and expressing remorse for unintentionally aiding in the incident.

“I assumed it was not a significant issue because I was pain-free. He would regain his physical fitness in exchange for my clavicle, which I would gladly donate.

“I was entirely at ease at that precise instant. I assumed Kostas was as well, but he informed me that “no, it’s broken.”

“Obviously, that is not cool when you are somewhat involved and seeing it directly in the face.” How or if I had fallen on him, I was uncertain.”
