Saka has stepped up his recovery in recent days, but a report from The Sun claims he’s ‘set to miss a further eight weeks’ in a ‘devastating blow’ for Arsenal, who have also learned the ‘extent’ of Martinelli’s ‘injury’.

Bukayo Saka could be sidelined for another couple of months as Arsenal manage his return from injury carefully. The 23-year-old severely injured his hamstring during Arsenal's 5-1 obliteration of Crystal Palace on December 21 and underwent surgery a week later.

Kai Havertz's season-ending injury is a "big blow" to Arsenal and it will test their mettle once again after the club navigated through several injuries this season to sit second in the Premier League,
