Arteta has a plan to replace Saka during injury absence

The injury to Bukayo Saka, which will sideline him for several weeks, is a significant blow for Arsenal. However, head coach Mikel Arteta has already devised potential solutions to navigate this challenging period.

Details: The Spaniard has outlined several ideas for adjusting the squad during Saka's recovery, drawing comparisons to how the team adapted when Martin Ødegaard was sidelined. A final plan will be determined after internal consultations.

Quote: "I’m gathering some ideas; we’ll try new things, just like we did when Ødegaard was out. Gabi played there, Nwaneri, Trossard... Havertz can play there too. We’ll discuss it internally and see what the best solution is," Arteta said.

Reminder: Saka sustained the injury in the 25th minute of the match against Crystal Palace and requested a substitution. While the nature of the injury remains unclear, it appears serious. Arsenal's star player left the stadium on crutches, raising concerns for Arteta and the team.
