Arsenal have been handed a major blow this weekend. Their main superstar Bukayo Saka has suffered a serious injury. Here are the latest updates about his situation with possible return date.
Gunners face Crystal Palace this weekend in the Premier League fixture. They scored 5 goals and secured all 3 points. But, they have been hit with a negative news too. Saka left the pitch in just 24 minutes due to suffering injury.
Saka has been the best player for Gunners this season. He has already scored 5 goals and picked 10 assists in 16 Premier League games. In addition, he has 4 goals and 2 assists in 5 Champions League games.
Saka suffered a serious hamstring injury against Palace. He was unable to continue which forced Mikel Arteta to make an early change. Now, it seems like Saka will miss many games as talkSPORT have claimed that he will not return until February.
How much will Arsenal miss Saka?
Saka has been the most dependable player for Mikel Arteta. He has always made the difference. Earlier, the player was absent for some games due to suffering injury while playing for England national team. At that time, Gunners missed the 23 year very badly and were highly ineffective in final third.
Firstly except Saka, no other Arsenal player has been able to deliever consistently. Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus and Sterling are all struggling at the moment and some of them have been linked with an exit too. Now, the absence of Saka may make it worse for Gunners to challenge for the title.
Will this change the club’s transfer policy?
Gunners have been hit hard by many injury issues this season. They are surely lacking spark in final third and Saka’s injury may be the signal that they should try and sign someone in January itself. The club should sign a winger to provide Saka with much needed rest who can also be an upgrade on Martinelli, Sterling and Trossard.
