The England international picked up the injury during Arsenal's draw in Munich in October and has been sidelined since the incident. Arteta provided an update on Saka's recovery status during his pre-match press conference, indicating the 23-year-old faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
Saka has been a key player for Arsenal this season, featuring prominently in both Premier League and European competition. The winger's absence represents a significant loss to the club's attacking options as they navigate a demanding fixture schedule.
Arsenal have not disclosed a specific timeline for Saka's return, with Arteta's assessment suggesting he will require a minimum of several weeks before being available for selection. The club will likely provide further updates on his rehabilitation progress in due course.
The injury adds to Arsenal's injury concerns and comes at a critical juncture in their domestic and continental campaigns. Arteta will need to adjust his tactical approach and squad rotation to compensate for Saka's unavailability in the coming weeks.
