Bukayo Saka gets warm Hibs response as Jack Ross' side show solidarity with Arsenal star

Hibs have shown solidarity for Arsenal star Bukayo Saka by unveiling a home shirt with his name and number on the back.

Jack Ross ' side welcome the Gunners to Easter Road on Tuesday evening as their pre-season preparations kick into gear.

They've already faced Dunfermline, Accrington Stanley and Stoke City but Mikel Arteta's team provide another level of opposition.

They will be without starlet Saka, however, as he takes a break after returning from Euro 2020 with England.

The 18-year-old missed the key penalty against Italy in the final and within hours he was forced to delete his Instagram account after receiving racist abuse.

He won't be at Easter Road but Hibs have shown solidarity for the youngster, who was consoled by Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate at Wembley.

As shared by Arsenal on Twitter, Hibs have made up a home shirt with 'Saka 7' on the back in reference to the winger.

The Gunners tweeted the image of the shirt, alongside the Arsenal away jersey, with the caption "solidarity."
