Saka’s injury isn’t as serious as initially feared.
Arsenal has also received good news after it was revealed that Bukayo Saka’s hamstring injury, which also forced him to withdraw against Leeds, is not as significant as initially feared.The international English player missed three and a half months of last season after undergoing surgery on his right hamstring, and the concern was that he could face a similar period of inactivity after limping with a problem in his left hamstring.However, although it is not yet clear when Saka will return to the team, the first indications seem to be positive for the 23-year-old player, and it is understood that he is not expected to be out for a period similar to that of last season.
