Arsenal's rising star Bukayo Saka faces a “many weeks” recovery after sustaining a hamstring injury during their 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace, manager Mikel Arteta announced. The setback sidelines Saka for Friday’s clash against Ipswich Town and threatens his availability for key upcoming matches. 😟
The 23-year-old winger, who has been pivotal this season with 5 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League, left Saturday’s game in the 22nd minute and later exited on crutches. Arteta stressed that the injury resulted from a “build-up of reasons,” including his heavy match schedule. ⏳
This isn’t Saka’s first fitness battle this season—he previously missed three England Nations League games and two Arsenal matches due to a leg injury in October and November. Fans now face an anxious wait as the club fights to retain its top-three league position without their talisman. 🔴⚪
Arteta remains hopeful: “We’ll support him every step of the way. He’s a fighter.” Will Saka recover in time for the season’s finale? Stay tuned. 📅
