Arsenal and England football fans have been dealt a significant blow after manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that star player Bukayo Saka is facing a spell on the sidelines.

Saka, 25, picked up an injury that will keep him out of action for multiple weeks. The setback means the talented winger will miss England’s crucial UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain scheduled for this month.

The absence of Saka is a major hurdle for both club and country, given his consistent form and vital role in the attacking lineup. Arteta expressed concern over the timeline of his recovery, though the medical team is working closely to ensure a safe and steady return to the pitch.

Arsenal will now have to navigate a demanding fixture schedule without one of their most influential players, while the England national team must adapt their tactical approach for the upcoming international fixtures.
