Unique approach: Mikel Arteta advises Bukayo Saka to take a vacation

Arsenal will be without their star winger Bukayo Saka for several months due to a serious injury.

Manager Mikel Arteta has offered an unconventional piece of advice to the Arsenal leader—take a vacation to recharge.

Quote. “Bukayo needs to take a holiday. He should go away — with his girlfriend, with his family, or even on his own, he can choose! He needs to leave for a few days and recover his energy. There’s still so much he can do during his rehabilitation. This will make him better,” said Arteta.

Reminder. Saka underwent surgery on his hamstring in December 2024 after sustaining an injury in the match against Crystal Palace (5–1). It is expected that Bukayo will not return to the field until at least March this year.
