Mikel Arteta has admitted that Arsenal must discover why they are suffering so many injuries after confirming that Bukayo Saka will miss Sunday’s showdown with Liverpool due to a hamstring issue.
The England forward is set to be out for weeks rather than months after sustaining the problem against Leeds, while Arteta revealed that captain Martin Odegaard is also a major doubt for Anfield due to a shoulder injury having not trained all week. Kai Havertz has had knee surgery which could keep him out for more than a month, with more concerns over Leandro Trossard, Ben White and Christian Norgaard’s participation against Arne Slot’s reigning champions.
