Overview

• Sunday scans suggested both injuries are not expected to be long term, although Arsenal have not set return dates.
• Mikel Arteta said Bukayo Saka felt his left hamstring and confirmed it is the opposite side to last season’s operation.
• An independent analyst judged the mechanism consistent with a Grade 1–2 hamstring strain, implying a 2–6 week window pending club confirmation.
• Eberechi Eze joined in a deal worth up to £68 million and could debut at Anfield to offer immediate creative cover.
• With Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Ben White and Christian Norgaard also out, Arsenal’s lineup for Liverpool remains uncertain after the 5-0 win over Leeds.
