On Thursday Night, Bukayo Saka got injured against Greece during the England loss. Updates on Bukayo Saka Injury below.
When did Saka get injured?
The England boss provides an update on Bukayo Saka’s injury. Saka limped off the pitch and got replaced by Noni Madueke.
Bukayo Saka was about to put in a cross for Arsenal, then they realized that he sustained a hamstring injury. The area where he got injured might be tightened which will lead him to miss matches for a few days. If the injury gets more severe then, the England international maybe at the sidelines for several weeks. “He’s being assessed. Obviously, in the build-up to the first goal, you could see he felt something in his leg.” Lee Carsley said on Saka’s injury. Saka was helped off the pitch by the England staff. He was very uncomfortable at the Wembley stadium as well.
A footage of Bukayo Saka limping out of the ground was surfaced in social media and Mikel Arteta is very concerned.
Concerns for Arteta
Arteta is already missing Martin Ødegaard in the Arsenal squad and he cannot afford to lose the Arsenal star after his injury for a prolonged period of time. If he loses both the players for a long time then there will be problems in creativity in the midfield as well as good crosses in the wings.
Arsenal will face Bournemouth the next weekend after the international break. Before that they are playing against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League. Arteta’s boys will face Liverpool, Newcastle United and Chelsea after the international break. These matches are going to be very for Mikel Arteta if Saka and Martin Ødegaard still has not recovered from their injuries.
Arteta expects that Bukayo Saka will recover from his injury in the upcoming matches. He expects him to be featured against Finland for the England Squad on Sunday. More updates are expected to come on Sunday. Arteta expects Saka to be recovering as soon as possible and not make the injury worse.
Other Injured Players of Arsenal
Saka is not just the only concern for Mikel Arteta.
Kai Havertz: The German International is also doubtful to be playing against Bournemouth. He suffered a knee injury. In the next week, Mikel Arteta will talk about the updates of Kai Havertz in the next press conference in the next week.
Ben White: Ben White has been at the sidelines for the last three matches with a groin injury. It is doubtful if he will play against Bournemouth.
Jurrien Timber: Jurrien Timber was also injured after match where he played against Paris Saint Germain. He was absent in the squad which played against Southampton.
Kieran Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko are also absent from the Arsenal squad due to injuries. They are not expected to return by October.
Both Arsenal and England has not provided any specific return date or recovery date about Saka’s return. Bukayo Saka will be scanned and given tests for further issues.
If the injury looks too serious then Saka is looking to be on the sidelines for 6 weeks.
If the injury is not that bad then Saka can only miss the matches between Bournemouth and Shakhtar Donetsk. Mikel Arteta expects him to come back by the Liverpool game on October 27th.
Arteta might replace him with Gabriel Martinelli on his place. Martinelli is a left winger but he also has a lot of experience on the right wing for both Brazil and Arsenal. Gabriel Martinelli has two goals and two assists in seven games in the Premier League. He performs very well beside Kai Havertz.
