Arteta on Saka’s injury
Mikel Arteta while speaking on Saka’s injury said, “He has had a procedure and everything went well, but unfortunately he will be out for many, many weeks. It will be more than two months. I don’t know exactly how much longer. It will depend on how the scar tissue starts to heal, the first week or so, and the mobility of that. It is very difficult to say.”
He further added, “The replacement of Bukayo is going to be the team. There were moments where it flowed well tonight and moments where you could see there is still work to do. But I am certain that we are going to do that. We have to rely on the team and not the individual.”
