Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Saka faces around four weeks out after a left hamstring strain sustained in the 5-0 win over Leeds, though the issue is not viewed as long term.
  • Ødegaard injured his right shoulder against Leeds and, after scans, is considered doubtful for Anfield but not expected to face a prolonged absence.
  • Saka is expected to miss England’s September World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia as part of his recovery timeline.
  • Eberechi Eze was presented before the Leeds match following a move worth up to £67.5m and could offer immediate creative cover in Arsenal’s attack.
  • With the transfer window still open, Arsenal are monitoring squad needs as injuries test depth following earlier absences to key players.
