Last Saturday, Arsenal won comfortably against Crystal Palace (5-1). But the Gunners’ victory was spoiled by the injury exit of Bukayo Saka. In fact, the Englishman, who had been replaced by Leandro Trossard, had complained about his thigh. In the process, the British press revealed that he had left Selhurst Park on crutches. For his part, Mikel Arteta was concerned about the state of health of his player, author of 9 goals and 13 assists in 24 appearances in all competitions.
“Bukayo Saka felt something in his hamstring. He couldn’t continue. It will have to be examined. I’m quite worried about him. It’s difficult to make an assessment now. They tested it there, but it’s very difficult to say how serious it is.” The tests taken by the English international unfortunately confirmed the bad feeling of the Spanish technician. At a press conference, Arteta announced that Bukayo Saka, who tore his tendon, would be out for a short while.
Arsenal follow RKM case
“This is not good news. He will be away for several weeks. It’s a hard blow, but it will be a big exercise for us to overcome a new challenge.” No length of absence has been communicated by the residents of the Emirates Stadium. But theEvening Standard reveals that Arsenal fears that their player will be withdrawn until March. He must undergo additional examinations to determine the exact duration of his absence. The English media adds that this should push Arsenal to be active during the month of January, although Edu’s replacement (sports director) has not yet been appointed.
Besides Saka, Arteta also has to do without Raheem Sterling. With all the challenges awaiting the club, strengthening the offensive sector will be very important. And this Wednesday, theEvening Standard reveals that Arsenal could well turn to PSG. Indeed, the English media cites the name of Randal Kolo Muani (26 years old). Author of 2 goals and 1 assist in 14 appearances in all competitions, the Frenchman is a possible candidate for departure to Paris this winter. Courted by several teams, such as Leipzig or Monaco, the player under contract until 2028 therefore sees Arsenal, which is following his case, added to its list of suitors. The winter will be hot for the French striker.
