Saka has been one of the most important players for Mikel Arteta’s side over the years.

Bukayo Saka faces “many weeks” on the sidelines after suffering a torn hamstring, while his Arsenal team-mate Raheem Sterling will also be unavailable for a similar period. Saka, 23, was forced off during the first half of Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday with an injury to his right leg.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that he expects Bukayo Sako to be out of action until March after the England winger underwent surgery on his torn hamstring. The Spanish coach had previously said he expected Saka would be sidelined for “many weeks” after picking up the injury during Arsenal's 5-1 win against Crystal Palace last weekend.
