Saka has been instrumental in Arsenal's impressive start to the season, providing a constant threat going forward with his pace, skill, and creativity. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the Gunners, who are currently locked in a tight title race.

"It doesn't look good, he's going to be out for several weeks," Arteta said. "He was devastated. I could tell he's not used to getting injured because he was quite down and emotional. He'll be fine, but I think he'll need a few days."

The timing of the injury couldn't be worse for Arsenal, who face a crucial period of fixtures in the coming weeks. With key matches against their title rivals approaching, the Gunners will have to find a way to cope without their talisman.

While Arsenal possess a talented squad, Saka's unique blend of skill and versatility makes him difficult to replace. His absence will put additional pressure on other attacking players to step up and fill the void. Furthermore, it may force Arteta to adjust his tactical approach, potentially disrupting the team's rhythm and momentum.

As Arsenal fans come to terms with the news, the focus will now shift to how the club can navigate the challenges ahead without their star man. The coming weeks will provide a true test of the squad's depth and resilience.
