The 23-year-old England international has been ruled out until at least March following surgery on the muscle tear.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told Bukayo Saka to take a well-earned holiday. Saka is currently out injured after tearing his hamstring last month and is not expected back in action until at least March. The injury is the first major one of Saka’s career and prior to that he had been one of Arsenal and England’s most consistent performers.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are “actively looking” to make signings in attack this month following injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.  Saka, 23, underwent surgery on a hamstring injury in December and is expected to return in March.

Mikel Arteta says the “necessity” for Arsenal to add to their squad has ramped up after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. Saka tore his hamstring in December and will be out of action until at least March,
