Your Arsenal morning digest on Saturday, January 28.
Man City title blow
Manchester City have been handed a huge blow as John Stones had to be substituted late in the first half through injury in the side's FA Cup fourth round clash with Arsenal. It could be a major problem for the Citizens as the defender has been an ever-present force for the side this season.
It came during a tense battle between England's current top two in the FA Cup, where neither side were able to find a breakthrough in the opening 45 minutes.

Caicedo offer
Arsenal saw a £60 million transfer offer for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo rejected on Friday morning, football.london understands. The Gunners are short of options in the centre of the park, with Mikel Arteta admitting earlier this week that he would like some midfield reinforcements before next week's transfer deadline.
Speaking about the recent injury sustained by Mohamed Elneny, Arteta said: "There are concerns. Mo is a player who never complains about anything but let's see.
"We need some more cover in midfield, ideally, if we can. But this market is complicated. But as I always say, the most important thing is we get the performances and the time on the pitch with the players we already have on the pitch are really good."

Saka claim
Martin Keown has claimed that Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is a combination of both Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford.
“Saka now has the world at his feet,” Keown wrote in his column for the Daily Mail.
“His work ethic is infectious – so is his smile. He has the trickery of Phil Foden and the pace of Marcus Rashford all in one. It is a unique skill set and he is as tough as teak to go with it."
