🚨 BUKAYO SAKA FACING WEEKS ON THE SIDELINES! A HUGE INJURY BLOW FOR ARSENAL!
Mikel Arteta has delivered a concerning update on Bukayo Saka following the winger's early withdrawal during Arsenal's 2-2 Champions League draw with Bayern Munich.
Saka will miss today's Premier League clash with Everton, with reports suggesting the England international could be sidelined for SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS.
However, Arsenal are still awaiting further medical assessments before confirming the full extent of the injury or a definitive return date.
In today's Arsenal News Show, Tom Canton breaks down Arteta's press conference, the implications of Saka's injury, the latest team news and Arsenal's crucial Premier League fixture against David Moyes' Everton.
🚑 SAKA INJURY — HOW LONG WILL HE BE OUT?
After suffering a thigh problem in Munich, Saka has required further scans because swelling around the affected area has made an accurate diagnosis difficult.
Arteta admitted the initial signs were worrying and discussed the impact of Arsenal's demanding fixture schedule.
Could Saka miss the trip to Liverpool, the clash with Manchester City or even the North London Derby?
And with Arsenal facing so many important matches, how should Arteta manage the winger's recovery to avoid further setbacks?
⚽ WHO REPLACES BUKAYO SAKA?
Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze and Max Dowman are all part of the conversation as Arsenal consider how to reshape their attack.
Madueke has already demonstrated his match-winning ability, while Eze impressed after replacing Saka against Bayern Munich.
Arteta has also backed 16-year-old Dowman to make an impact when given opportunities.
