Saka missed England’s games against Brazil and Belgium as he was carrying a knock.
But Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta deemed him fit enough to start at The Etihad.
However his match was cut short in the 78th minute as Saka went down clutching his leg.
Gabriel Martinelli was brought on in his place but the Gunners now face a nervous wait over Saka’s fitness.
The forward has missed just one Premier League game this season, which ironically was the home meeting with City.
Saka faces a race to be fit in time for Arsenal’s next match, which is against Luton on Wednesday.
The games then come thick and fast for Mikel Arteta’s side – six in 17 days starting with the visit from the Hatters.
Included in that run is Arsenal’s Champions League quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich.
Fortunately for the Gunners Saka’s injury did not impact them too much as they held out for a 0-0 draw against the champions.
