Arsenal's Bukayo Saka Faces Six-Week Injury Layoff
Arsenal is concerned that Bukayo Saka could be sidelined for a minimum of six weeks following a quadriceps injury sustained during their 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayern Munich. The injury occurred at the Allianz Arena, leading to Saka's early exit from the match.
An MRI scan is scheduled for Friday to evaluate the injury's severity, as initial examinations have indicated significant fluid around the affected muscle, complicating the assessment. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta stated that further scans and specialist opinions are necessary to determine Saka's recovery timeline.
He noted that Saka's inability to walk without pain is a troubling sign. Saka will miss the upcoming Premier League match against Everton, and a prolonged absence could also affect his participation in England's UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.
This injury adds to Saka's recent history of fitness issues, including an Achilles problem and a previous hamstring surgery.
