Arsenal's Bukayo Saka Faces Six-Week Injury Layoff

Bukayo Saka, a 25-year-old player for Arsenal, is anticipated to be out for a minimum of six weeks following a quadriceps injury sustained during the club's Champions League match against Bayern Munich, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena. Saka was forced to leave the pitch and will undergo an MRI scan to assess the injury more clearly.

Initial examinations indicate that he may miss several important fixtures for Arsenal and England's UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta stated that further scans are necessary due to the significant fluid around the muscle, complicating early diagnosis.

Saka will definitely miss the upcoming Premier League match against Everton. His recent fitness record has been inconsistent, having previously dealt with an Achilles issue and hamstring surgery that kept him out for 101 days during the 2024-25 season.
