Saka Faces Up to Six-Week Absence After Thigh Injury Against Bayern Munich

Bukayo Saka limped off in Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich and is set for an MRI scan on a thigh issue. Arsenal fear a grade-two tear that could keep the 25-year-old out for up to six weeks. He will definitely miss Saturday's Premier League game against Everton, with Mikel Arteta also expressing broader concern about managing Saka's workload after a series of injuries over the past year. Losing Saka for up to six weeks is a significant blow to Arsenal's Champions League and title ambitions at a critical point in the season.
