Arsenal’s talisman Bukayo Saka is on the road to recovery after a serious hamstring injury he suffered in December. After suffering the injury during the win over Crystal Palace, Saka underwent surgery and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that the forward will be out for at least two months. This means he will miss a significant number of games, including the derby with Tottenham and Premier League clashes with Manchester City and Aston Villa.
The London team has missed Saka, who was a key player in the attack until his injury. Saka has been one of Arsenal’s best players in recent seasons, but a long-term injury has put his creativity and athleticism on hold. Arsenal will be forced to rely on other players such as Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard in attack, but these players do not currently provide the same level of creativity that has characterized Saka.
Arsenal will also consider options in the winter transfer window, and there is currently speculation that the club could strengthen their attack, as additional strikers will be needed to compensate for Saka and the possible injury to Gabriel Jesus.
According to the latest information, the earliest possible date for Bukayo Saka to return to the field is the end of February, with a return in March looking like the most realistic option. Arsenal are hoping that, after a long recovery period, Saka will shine on the pitch again, which could significantly improve the team’s dynamics in the second half of the season.
Which matches will he miss?
Saka will miss some of the most important matches in the coming months, including the north London derby against Tottenham, as well as matches against Manchester City and Aston Villa. He will also miss the Champions League matches and the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle United.
What next for Arsenal?
Saka will need to recover in time to give Arsenal the best chance of continuing their Premier League title challenge and beyond. If his recovery goes as planned, Saka could be a key player for the club when he returns, but Arsenal must be prepared to continue the season without him in the short term.
