Bukayo Saka should miss more than two months of competition with Arsenal, his coach Mikel Arteta announced at a press conference this Friday.
Arsenal striker Bukayo Saka will be out for more than two months after undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury, his manager Mikel Arteta announced on Friday. “He had an operation, everything went well, but unfortunately he will be out for many weeks”the Spaniard told journalists after Arsenal’s victory over Ipswich (1-0), which allows them to take second place in the Premier League standings.
Asked for a more specific timetable, Arteta added: “I think it will be more than two months. It will depend on how the scar tissue starts to heal, the first week or so of mobility… Let’s see, it’s very difficult to say.”. Saka has scored five goals and provided ten assists in the league this season, as one of Arsenal’s chief creators. The 23-year-old was forced to leave the stadium during the match against Crystal Palace earlier this month and left the stadium on crutches.
In October and November, the England international missed three Nations League matches as well as Arsenal’s league defeat to Bournemouth and Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk due to a leg injury .
