US EditionArsenal's Saka to Miss Anfield Trip
Both Saka and Odegaard sustained injuries in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds; Saka will miss up to four weeks including Liverpool and England matches, while Odegaard remains doubtful.
- Arsenal's Bukayo Saka will miss the Premier League trip to Anfield against Liverpool on Sunday after sustaining a hamstring injury during the 5-0 win over Leeds last Saturday at the Emirates.
- Saka's injury follows a history of hamstring issues, including surgery last season causing a three-and-a-half-month absence, raising concerns about another extended sidelining, though early scans suggest a shorter recovery.
- In the same match, captain Martin Odegaard injured his shoulder and left with his arm in a sling, making his availability for the Liverpool clash uncertain while Arsenal remain hopeful he will recover by the September 21 home game against Manchester City.
- Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the significance of Saka's injury but highlighted Arsenal's summer signings such as Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, and Noni Madueke as additional attacking options to cover absent players.
- Saka's absence implies he will also miss England's World Cup qualifiers and other Arsenal fixtures, creating a notable gap in both teams' lineups, though reports suggest neither he nor Odegaard face long-term layoffs.
