Arsenal's Bukayo Saka Faces Two-Month Injury Layoff
· Sports · BBC Sport
Arsenal fear Bukayo Saka could be sidelined for up to eight weeks due to a quadriceps injury sustained during their Champions League match against Bayern Munich. The 25-year-old forward will undergo an MRI scan on Friday to determine the full extent of the problem, which forced him off in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena. Early examinations suggest Saka will miss a minimum of six weeks, with the potential for a longer absence. This injury means he will miss several crucial games for Arsenal and England's upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta confirmed that fluid around the muscle has made an immediate definitive diagnosis difficult.
Why it matters
Saka's potential two-month absence is a significant blow for Arsenal, impacting their Premier League title challenge and Champions League aspirations. It also affects England's squad selection for important UEFA Nations League fixtures.
