How Long Arsenal Stars Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard Will Be Out After Serious Injuries vs Leeds

Arsenal's emphatic victory over Leeds United at the Emirates on Saturday was overshadowed by fresh injury concerns for key players Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Odegaard was forced off in the first half with a shoulder injury, which initial assessments suggest could be an AC joint sprain.

The Norwegian midfielder could be out for a week or two, but a more severe sprain could sideline him for up to a month. Saka, who scored a goal before being substituted, is dealing with a hamstring problem that may require surgery.

Initial assessments indicate a grade 1 or 2 hamstring strain, which could see him out for anywhere between two to six weeks. Arsenal, already dealing with a growing injury list, will be hoping to avoid prolonged absences for both players as they face tough fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester City.

Losing Saka for an extended period would be a devastating blow to Arsenal's attacking balance. Other players on the injury list include Kai Havertz, Christian Norg.
