Arsenal is looking at multiple weeks without Bukayo Saka after the England star picked up a supposed hamstring injury against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Bukayo Saka faces “many weeks” on the sidelines after suffering a torn hamstring, while his Arsenal team-mate Raheem Sterling will also be unavailable for a similar period. Saka, 23, was forced off during the first half of Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday with an injury to his right leg.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are “ready and open” to signing another attacking player in the January transfer window after it was confirmed that Bukayo Saka will be missing for “many weeks”.
