Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka ’emotional’ as he faces lengthy injury absence

Arsenal have been dealt a major injury blow after Mikel Arteta revealed a “really emotional” Bukayo Saka has been ruled out for “many weeks” with a hamstring tear.

Saka, 23, left Selhurst Park on crutches after he went down in the first half of Arsenal’s 5-1 win at Crystal Palace holding his right leg on Saturday.

And the England international, who has scored nine times and created 12 goals in the Premier League and Champions League so far this season, now faces a sustained period on the sidelines.
