Big blow for Arsenal as Bukayo Saka picks up apparent hamstring injury vs Greece | OneFootball

Arsenal have suffered a huge blow, with Bukayo Saka picking up an apparent hamstring injury on Nations League duty with England.

The 23-year-old winger has been a revelation for the Gunners this term, registering three goals and seven assists.

Saka was picked in the starting XI for the Three Lions’ game against Greece tonight, but he was replaced shortly after the visitors took the lead.

The Gunners graduate was spotted holding his right hamstring while leaving the field in the 51st minute, which is a massive blow.

Arsenal have largely relied on Saka for creativity and inspiration, with Martin Odegaard sidelined over the past few weeks.

He has delivered standout displays in every game, and they desperately need him fit for the Bournemouth trip.

Saka is most likely to return to Arsenal after the setback. The club will be hoping the issue is only minor and he can recover quickly.

If Saka is unable to make the Cherries game, manager Mikel Arteta could pick Gabriel Jesus or Raheem Sterling on the right wing.

Arsenal host Shakhtar Donetsk and Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium after the south coast trip.

The Gunners can ill-afford to lose Saka for an extended spell, particularly with Odegaard highly unlikely to return to action this month.
