Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says winger Bukayo Saka is likely to be out for "more than two months" after having surgery on his injured hamstring.

Bukayo Saka will miss more than two months after undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury, Mikel Arteta has says. Saka limped out of Arsenal's 5-1 win over Crystal Palace on December 21, the latest hammer blow of a season in which the Gunners have suffered a string of injuries to key players.

Saka subsequently underwent surgery, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admitting after Friday night’s 1-0 win over Ipswich that his attacking talisman would likely be sidelined for more than two months as he recovers in a major blow to the club’s title hopes.
