Mikel Arteta issues fresh Bukayo Saka update amid reports he faces two months out

Saka suffered a thigh injury in Arsenal's Champions League draw with Bayern Munich; Arteta expects him out for weeks pending a scan in 7-10 days.

Bukayo Saka went down in the opening minutes of Arsenal's 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, pulling up while attempting a crossfield pass and immediately signalling he could not continue. He clutched his thigh as he fell and was replaced by Eberechi Eze.

Arteta confirmed post-match that medical staff were concerned, saying the sharp pain Saka felt was "never good news". Saka missed Arsenal's 2-0 Premier League win over Everton on Saturday and has not trained since the injury.

The, former Arsenal manager told talkSPORT that scans show significant fluid around the injury, making an exact timeline unclear. "It will be weeks," Arteta said, with another scan planned in 7-10 days to clarify the picture. Reports suggest Saka could be sidelined for up to two months. The injury also threatens his availability for England's final two Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain in November.
