Bukayo Saka Out for Six Weeks with Thigh Injury
Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has been ruled out for a minimum of six weeks due to a thigh injury sustained during the club’s 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. The injury occurred just 10 minutes into the match, affecting his quadriceps muscle.
Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Saka will miss the Premier League match against Everton and stated that further medical examinations are necessary to determine the full extent of the injury. Initial assessments suggest Saka could be sidelined for six to eight weeks, which may affect his availability for key fixtures, including a Premier League clash against Liverpool on November 1.
The injury also poses a concern for the England national team, as Saka may miss scheduled UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain in November. The timeline for his return will depend on the severity of the injury and his response to rehabilitation.
