Arsenal fans, brace yourselves! 😱 The Gunners' brilliant forward, Bukayo Saka, is set to miss several weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during Saturday's electrifying 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
Saka, who has been on fire this season with five goals and ten assists, left the pitch in the 22nd minute and was later seen departing the stadium on crutches. 🚑 His absence is a big blow for Arsenal, currently sitting third in the Premier League standings.
Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the 23-year-old's sidelining, stating, \"He'll be out for many weeks.\" While Saka will miss Friday's clash against Ipswich Town at the Emirates and several other key fixtures, Arteta remains hopeful for his return before the season wraps up. 🤞
This isn't the first time Saka has faced setbacks this year. In October and November, he missed three Nations League games with England, Arsenal's defeat at Bournemouth, and their Champions League triumph over Shakhtar Donetsk—all due to injuries on the same leg. ⚽️
Arteta hinted that the injury resulted from a build-up of factors, including the intense number of games Saka has played. \"It's a combination of many reasons,\" he noted.
Gooners everywhere are wishing Saka a speedy recovery! 💪❤️ Here's hoping we'll see our star back on the pitch dazzling us again soon!
