“isn’t looking promising”

Saka has been a pivotal player for Arsenal this season, contributing five goals and ten assists in the Premier League. His absence will be keenly felt, but Arteta remains optimistic. Reflecting on previous injuries, such as when Martin Odegaard and several defenders were unavailable, Arteta expressed confidence in the team’s ability to adapt.

"We’re approaching it with a positive mindset,"

he said, reassuring fans that Arsenal can cope without their star winger.
