Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka will be sidelined for several weeks, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed during his pre-Ipswich Town press conference on Monday.
Saka suffered an injury during Arsenal’s 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday, leaving the pitch in the 24th minute to be replaced by Leandro Trossard. “It’s not looking good,” Arteta admitted.
“He’s a big player for us, and his impact on the team is undeniable. This will be a valuable exercise for us to overcome another challenge in what has already been a demanding season.”
Raheem Sterling is also facing time on the sidelines due to a knee injury. “He needs further tests to determine the extent of the injury,” Arteta said. “Unfortunately, he’ll be out for a while.”
With two key right wingers unavailable, Arteta discussed potential replacements, highlighting Gabriel Martinelli’s strong recent performance, which included a goal and an assist.
“We have several options,” Arteta noted. “Gabby [Jesus], Ethan [Nwaneri], Leo [Trossard], and Kai [Havertz] can all adapt to the role depending on what’s needed.”
Arteta expressed confidence in the team’s depth and flexibility. “It’s about finding the right balance and speaking to the players to understand how comfortable they feel in different positions. We’ll make adjustments to keep moving forward.”
