Bukayo Saka Out for Up to Four Weeks Ahead of Liverpool Match

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is set to be sidelined for approximately four weeks after injuring his left hamstring during Saturday’s 5-0 victory over Leeds United. The injury will likely cause him to miss the upcoming match against Liverpool this Sunday.

The 27-year-old winger suffered the injury after leaving the pitch during the game, initially causing concern for a significant issue. However, subsequent scans have indicated that the injury is less severe than initially feared.

In addition to Saka’s injury, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard also left the game early, clutching his right shoulder, which was in a sling after the match. While there is optimism that Odegaard’s injury is not long-term, his involvement in the Liverpool fixture remains uncertain.

This setback follows the knee injury sustained by Kai Havertz during the opening weekend, which has kept him out of action for an unspecified period.

Arsenal will need to rely on other attacking options to fill the gaps in their frontline, including new signing Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and young talent Max Dowman. Further assessments will be conducted this week to determine the full extent of the injuries and their impact on the team’s upcoming fixtures.
