Bukayo Saka suffers hamstring injury and will be out for 3 weeks

Bukayo Saka has added a second big name to the Gunners’ injury list during their 5-0 win against Leeds on Saturday, but luckily for Arsenal fans the injury doesn’t appear to be as bad as first feared.

Saka, 23, had already scored in helping Arsenal to a 3-0 lead in the game, and his body language was that of disappointment as trainers treated a left hamstring injury early in the second half.

He limped off the pitch, handing off the captain’s arm band he received when Martin Odegaard left the game through a shoulder injury in the first half.

All this comes days after Kai Havertz suffered an injury that seemed to fast-forward Arsenal’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze, who the club unveiled before the game.

The Gunners are hoping this is nothing that serious, and a report from the BBC says that Saka will only miss ‘four weeks’ with the hamstring injury.

That means he could only miss their huge Premier League game at Liverpool on Sunday, while he will also be unavailable for England during the international break.

Potentially Saka could be fit to return to action when Arsenal face Nottingham Forest on September 13, but more likely is the Champions League game just before their huge clash at home against Manchester City on September 21.
