Arsenal: Bukayo Saka set for lengthy absence
Arsenal faces a significant setback as winger Bukayo Saka is expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks with a hamstring injury sustained in the 5-0 victory over Leeds United.
The 23-year-old was substituted in the 53rd minute and is also set to miss England’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
In a further blow, captain Martin Ødegaard is a doubt for Sunday’s crucial trip to Liverpool after suffering a shoulder injury in the same match.
The Norwegian playmaker was forced off in the first half and was later seen wearing a sling.
While the club remains hopeful both absences will be short-term, the potential unavailability of two key attackers presents a major challenge for manager Mikel Arteta ahead of a critical period. Leandro Trossard, who replaced Saka against Leeds, is likely to feature prominently in the coming fixtures.
