ARSENAL star Bukayo Saka could be sidelined for “more than two months” after undergoing surgery.
Saka, 23, was forced off just 23 minutes into the Gunners’ 5-1 thrashing at Crystal Palace with a hamstring injury last week.
Manager Mikel Arteta issued a bleak update regarding his star winger’s fitness as he revealed he underwent surgery.
And the Arsenal boss confirmed the England international could be out until February.
Arteta said: “I prefer to leave it to the doctor. But yes Bukayo had surgery, and he will be out for many, many weeks.
“Many weeks, I think it will be more than two months, I don’t know how long it will take with the scar tissue or improving his mobility.
“We have to rely on the team, that is our strength, we are a team of players who can score 20/30 goals together.”
