Bukayo Saka will be unavailable for many weeks, according to Mikel Arteta in his pre-Ipswich Town press conference on Monday.

Our number seven went down in the 24th minute of Saturday’s 5-1 win away to Crystal Palace and had to be replaced by Leandro Trossard.
“It’s not looking good,” Mikel said. “Obviously he’s a big player for us. You just have to see the impact that he has on the team, but it’s going to be a really good exercise for all of us to think about ways to overcome another challenge, because we’ve already had a lot in the season.”
Unfortunately Raheem Sterling won’t be one of the way we can overcome the challenge, as he is also expected to be out for a number of weeks.
“He needs some further testing tomorrow to understand the extent of the injury,” Mikel added. “It’s his knee and we have to wait another 24 hours, but unfortunately he’s going to be out for a while.” arsenal.com
