In the race for the title of champion of England, here is an absence which should weigh heavily for Arsenal, that of
Bukayo Saka. The English striker suffered a torn hamstring during the success against Crystal Palace (5-1) on Saturday in the Premier League.
This Friday, after another victory against Ipswich (1-0) – the third in a row in all competitions – coach Mikel Arteta confirmed some very bad news. He announced that the young right winger, who had undergone successful surgery, will be unavailable for a long period of time.
The winter transfer window to compensate for absences?
“He had an operation. Everything went well, but unfortunately he will be out for many, many weeks. I said ‘many weeks’ so I think it will be more than two months. I don’t know exactly how long he will be gone. It will depend on how the scar tissue begins to heal in the first week, how mobile it is. We’ll see, it’s very difficult to say.”said the Spanish coach at a press conference.
As the Gunners prepare to start the second half of the season with trips to Brentford and Brighton on January 1 and 4, Arteta does not rule out the possibility of recruiting this winter. ” We’ll see. I hope we don’t get any other injuries.”confided the Basque. It must be said that the Arsenal infirmary is already full. Indeed, in addition to Saka, the London team must do without Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White and Raheem Sterling, all three of whom are unavailable.
