Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has reportedly suffered a devastating setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury. The winger was initially feared to be out until March with the problem he suffered in the Gunners’ 5-1 win over Crystal Palace in December.
Saka has missed the last two months and his absence is part of a wider injury crisis at Arsenal. Kai Havertz was the latest player to be ruled out long-term.
The German also has a hamstring injury but, unlike Saka, he is set to miss the rest of the season in a cruel blow to Mikel Arteta. Gabriel Jesus had already been ruled out until 2025-26 with a serious knee problem.
Arsenal were hoping that Saka would return next month to ease the pressure on Arteta’s few forward options. However, The Sun report that the England international will miss another eight weeks as the Gunners’ problems get worse.
