The news that Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury is not as serious as initially thought has given Arsenal a lift. During Saturday's 5-0 Premier League triumph over Leeds at the Emirates, Saka was substituted out in the second half.
Following surgery on his right hamstring, the England international lost three and a half months of the previous season.
After he hobbled off with a left hamstring ailment, there was concern that he could have to miss a similar amount of time. Although it's yet uncertain when Saka will rejoin the team, early signs point to a promising future for the 23-year-old, and it's understood that a similar length of time off as last season is not expected.Arsenal, who have now won both of their games, will play champions Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
In the victory over Leeds, captain Martin Ødegaard was also replaced following an ungainly fall on his right shoulder. As he concentrates on his recuperation, he was pulled from a fan signing event at the Emirates on Monday. But, like Saka, it is not believed that the Norway international will face a lengthy stint away from play.
