"Bukayo Saka's first goal in the 2025/26 Premier League was tempered by an issue the England international suffered during Arsenal's 5-0 home win over Leeds United on August 23. Forward Saka was replaced by Leandro Trossard after 53 minutes, with manager Mikel Arteta voicing concerns over the potential diagnosis for his key creative player. Arteta also said Martin Odegaard had suffered a shoulder problem after the captain was replaced by Ethan Nwaneri in the 38th minute."
"Saka, who missed three months of last season with a hamstring injury, will reportedly be out for four weeks. The reaction at the club to that timescale is one of "particular relief", according to BBC Sport, who pointed out that Arsenal look better placed to temporarily replace Saka because they have signed Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze. Trossard, Brazil international Gabriel Martinelli, Nwaneri and impressive 15-year-old newcomer Max Dowman are also among Arteta's attacking options."
Bukayo Saka scored but suffered an issue during Arsenal's 5-0 home win over Leeds United on August 23 and was substituted after 53 minutes. Mikel Arteta voiced concern about a potential diagnosis for Saka and also reported that Martin Odegaard had a shoulder problem after being replaced in the 38th minute. Saka, who missed three months last season with a hamstring injury, is reportedly set to be out for four weeks. The club registered relief because Arsenal have signed Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze and can also call on Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, Ethan Nwaneri and 15-year-old Max Dowman. If sidelined for four weeks, Saka could be in contention for the September 21 match against Manchester City but will miss the trip to Liverpool on August 31 and is likely to miss the Nottingham Forest home game on September 13. Saka previously missed two matches in October 2024 with a hamstring problem and then sat out 19 matches.
