Bukayo Saka will probably be out until at least March after having surgery on his hamstring, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. Arsenal defeated Ipswich 1-0 at the Emirates to regain their second-place standing in the Premier League standings. This was their first game without Saka, who tore his right hamstring in last weekend’s 5-1 triumph against Crystal Palace.
The 23-year-old Saka was expected to be out for “many weeks” before Friday’s match, but Arteta gave his star player a more realistic timeline after his team won to keep the pressure on leaders Liverpool. “He had surgery, and everything went fine, but he will be out for a long time,” Arteta said. More than two months will pass. I’m not sure how much longer. How the scar tissue heals during the first week or so and how mobile it is will determine this. It is really hard to say.
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka Ruled Out For More Than Two Months
Arsenal defeated Ipswich 1-0 at the Emirates to regain their second-place standing in the Premier League standings. This was their first game without Saka, who tore his right hamstring in last weekend’s 5-1 triumph against Crystal Palace. Before Friday’s match, Arteta predicted that Saka, 23, would be out for “many weeks,” but he gave his star player a more realistic timeline after his team won, which kept pressure on leaders Liverpool.
“The team will take Bukayo’s place.” Even though there was still work to be done, there were also instances where everything went smoothly tonight. However, I have no doubt that we will accomplish so. The team, not the individual, is what we must rely on. Saka’s injury will be a major setback for Arteta, who is vying to have Arsenal win the Premier League for the first time in twenty years.
