The BBC have confirmed a big Arsenal injury blow ahead of the Gunners travelling to Anfield to face Liverpool this coming weekend.

Reporter Sami Mokbel has revealed that Bukayo Saka will miss up to 4 weeks of action due to his hamstring injury sustained in their 5-0 win over Leeds United on Saturday.

“Bukayo Saka is set to miss Arsenal’s game at Liverpool on Sunday as well as England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia next month.”

“The 23-year-old went off with a hamstring injury in Saturday’s home win against Leeds United and it is estimated the forward will be unavailable for up to four weeks.”

He adds that captain Martin Odegaard is a doubt as well due to a shoulder complaint:

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is doubtful for the match at Anfield as a result of a shoulder injury suffered in the victory against Leeds.

“Odegaard looked in pain as he was replaced in the first half of the 5-0 win and the former Real Madrid attacking midfielder is understood to have left Emirates Stadium with his shoulder in a sling.”

The timing of these injuries, while concerning, comes at a moment when Arsenal possess greater attacking depth than in previous seasons.

The club moved quickly to secure Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for £67.5 million just hours before the Leeds match, successfully hijacking Tottenham’s planned deal for the England international.

Eze’s arrival represents Arsenal’s seventh signing of a transformative summer transfer window that has seen the club invest over £267 million.
