Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Saka has suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks.
This setback is a significant blow to Arsenal’s attacking potency, as Saka has been a key player for the club this season.

He also offered a glimmer of hope, stating, “It could have been much worse.”

Arsenal will need to demonstrate their strength in depth and collective spirit to navigate this challenging period and maintain their title aspirations.
