English winger Bukayo Saka will be absent for some time after his injury against Bayern Munich, depriving both Arsenal and the England national team of his services.
The news broke this Friday, November 6th, and it is enough to worry Arsenal supporters as well as English football fans. Bukayo Saka, one of the most valuable players in the London squad, will be away from the pitch for an indefinite period after sustaining an injury during the Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
Mikel Arteta, the Gunners' manager, confirmed during his press conference that his player would be "absent for some time." A formulation that suggests the injury is more serious than expected and that Saka's return will not happen for several weeks. This absence constitutes a heavy blow for Arsenal, who rely heavily on their young winger for their ambitions both in the Premier League and in the Champions League.
On the international front, this injury also comes at a very bad time for Gareth Southgate and the England national team. Saka was among the players called up for the upcoming Nations League matches, where England must face Croatia and Spain in succession. Deprived of their emblematic player, the manager will have to revise his plans and find alternative solutions to compensate for this significant absence.
For Arsenal, the upcoming schedule therefore appears particularly demanding without one of their key players. The Gunners will have to learn to play without their best playmaker and scorer, until Saka recovers from his injury. The entire squad will be called upon to maintain the team's performance level, while supporters hope for a swift return of their injured star.
