This Monday, Gunners manager Mikel Arteta announced the bad news at a press conference. The player will be unavailable for several weeks according to his coach. “ This is not good news. He will be away for several weeks. It’s a big blow, but it will be a big exercise for us to overcome a new challenge,” he declared. The player actually tore his tendon in the first half against the Palace players

. The London native will therefore miss Boxing Day (the matches against Ipswich, Brentford and Brighton as well as the match against Newcastle in the League Cup) but also several important matches against Manchester United, Aston Villa and the North London Derby against at Tottenham.

Back in the Champions League?

Bukayo Saka will miss many matches due to his tendon injury. The England international could return to the field when the Champions League resumes. The Gunners host Dinamo Zagreb in the 7th day of the League phase of the tournament.
