After Mikel Arteta revealed that one important player would miss the Gunners’ next two games, Arsenal was given a setback due to an injury.
During the North London Derby last weekend, Bukayo Saka hurt his foot. Arsenal’s afternoon was made worse when Saka went off and was replaced by Emile Smith Rowe just before the final whistle. Spurs rallied twice to draw 2-2.
And according to a recent report from BBC Sport, the 22-year-old England international may miss next weekend’s Premier League match against Bournemouth in addition to missing Wednesday’s Carabao Cup match between the Gunners and Brentford.
Arsenal’s latest injury setback will serve as a huge disappointment to fans who are hoping to see the side kick on and continue their challenge for major silverware.
Saka’s unavailability will put the Londoners at a disadvantage, regardless of who they play. The English winger has once again been in great form during the early parts of the new 2023-24 season. He has directly contributed to seven goals from seven games in all competitions already.
