Arsenal fans have received disappointing news as it’s been confirmed by coach Mikel Arteta that star winger Bukayo Saka will be sidelined for the team’s upcoming Carabao Cup and Premier League matches. The 22-year-old sustained a leg injury during the recent North London derby, prompting Arteta to substitute him with Smith Rowe to prevent further aggravation.
Speaking about Saka’s injury, Arteta expressed concern, stating, “His condition was a bit bad after the game. We had to send him off the field, but that’s not a good sign. It is possible he will miss the match against Bournemouth.”
Saka’s absence poses a significant challenge for Arsenal, as he has been a crucial contributor with seven-goal involvements in seven games across all competitions this season. Notably, Saka had played in the most consecutive games for Arsenal prior to his injury, highlighting his importance to the team’s recent form. The team will need to find suitable replacements to maintain their form in his absence and secure positive results in the upcoming fixtures.
