Last night, Arsenal ensured the bare minimum by winning by the smallest of margins against Ipswich Town (1-0). A victory nevertheless very important since the vice-champion of England regained second place in the championship and took the opportunity to temporarily come back to six points behind the leader Liverpool, who still have a match in hand to play on the lawn of Everton. However, the Gunners will have to do without Bukayo Saka in the coming weeks. And after this Thursday’s match against the promoted side, Mikel Arteta was not very reassuring.
Saka absent for more than two months?
For him, the England international will be absent for more than two months: “Bukayo Saka will be out for many weeks…probably more than 2 months. He underwent surgery. Now it depends on how the scar tissue starts to heal, how mobile it is” he lamented before being relaunched on the Mercato: “We’ll see. I hope there are no more injuries. We’ll probably have Raheem Sterling out for less time than expected, so that’s good news.”.
Finally, he did not fail to get excited about Myles Lewis-Skelly: “He’s a special player, ahead of his age, and so mature. His qualities correspond to our way of playing. Theory is one thing, but competing at this level is another. Bravo to him” he declared. Aged 18, the England under-19 international continues his tenure with the Gunners.
