Arteta Confirms Saka Out for Weeks With Second Hamstring Injury

Arsenal plans repeat scans to identify the cause of the recurrence.

Overview

  • Manager Mikel Arteta said Bukayo Saka will miss a few weeks with a new hamstring problem, which is in the opposite leg to his December tear and does not require surgery.
  • Arteta called the situation a “big” concern and said the club will repeat imaging and investigate why the issue has returned.
  • Captain Martin Ødegaard hurt his shoulder against Leeds, has not trained this week, and will be assessed late for Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.
  • Kai Havertz underwent knee surgery after the season opener and is out for weeks, with the precise timeline unclear.
  • Arsenal signed Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace following Havertz’s setback to bolster attacking options.
