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.”
Saka’s absence will be a significant test for Arsenal’s depth and squad rotation.
The club will need to find a way to cope without their star winger during this crucial period of the season.
