Arsenal's Bukayo Saka Expected Sidelined Four Weeks Hamstring Injury

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is expected to miss up to four weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during the club's 5-0 win over Leeds United, ruling him out of the crucial upcoming Premier League clash at Liverpool and England’s World Cup qualifiers. Despite the setback, Arsenal remain optimistic as the injury is described as minor and the club is taking a cautious approach to his recovery to avoid long-term damage. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard also faces doubt for the Liverpool match after suffering a shoulder injury against Leeds, although there is hope he may recover in time. The Gunners have strengthened their attacking options this season with new signings Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, and Eberechi Eze, as well as existing players like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, to cover for the absences. Manager Mikel Arteta is preparing to adapt his lineup, potentially deploying younger players such as Ethan Nwaneri or Max Dowman in wider roles. Overall, while Saka's injury is a blow to Arsenal's early title push, the squad’s depth and cautious management of injuries provide some reassurance for their campaign.
