Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has undergone successful surgery on his hamstring injury but faces a lengthy recovery period of at least two months.
Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka has had successful surgery on his hamstring injury but expects the Arsenal forward to be out for at least two months. Arteta's men have been rocked by Saka's hamstring injury which could keep the England winger, who has nine goals and 13 assists this season, out of action for the next two months.
Gabriel Martinelli was handed the unenviable task of filling Saka's shoes on Arsenal's right-hand side and the Brazilian was involved in the only goal of the evening against Ipswich on Friday night. Arsenal ultimately moved into second place in the Premier League table with a 1-0 win at the Emirates. In their final fixture of 2024, Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game midway through the opening period. Arsenal's victory takes them back to within six points of leaders Liverpool, having played one match more than the Reds, and a point clear of Chelsea following their Boxing Day defeat to Fulham. Speaking afterwards, Arteta confirmed his team must get used to winning matches without Saka.

There were moments that it flowed really well, there were moments that we can still have some work to do there and improve it and adapt to the qualities of the individuals. I'm certain that we're going to do that. It was different . We will evolve that. We can't isolate in the same way we do with Bukayo - we have to do it differentl
