Arsenal had a major setback recently as their best player this season Bukayo Saka suffered serious injury. There are some big updates coming about the 23 year old.
Bukayo Saka has been the whole and sole of Gunners this season. He has played in 24 games so far. In those, he has recorded 9 goals and 13 assists. Saka has often been forced to play regularly without rest.
As of now, Gunners do not have a proper backup for Saka. In addition, the 23 year old is regular England national team member. Due to not getting enough rest, he is often at risk of getting injured.
The nightmare scenario has already happened for Arsenal. Saka has recently faced a hamstring injury. The injury was so serious that the club feared Saka’s hamstring detached from bone at first.
Usually medical staff waits until next day to scan the player. But, this time Gunners went on for a scan on the same night of injury. Mikel Arteta has already confirmed that the player will miss for long time. Saka will not return on pitch before February.
Arsenal injury news: Further updates about Saka
It is been revealed recently by HandofOzil, that Saka will not require surgery after specialist consultation. The club will keep monitoring the injury and taking precautions.
This will come as a positive news for Arsenal fans. A surgery would have made Saka unable to play until the end of the season. Now, the player can return on pitch in February if everything goes as per plans.
Gunners are planning to find a perfect cover for Saka. They will now need to step up their process very soon. As of now, they do need to make some signings in January itself. Along with winger, they should also keep eye on striker and midfielder.
