Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that forward Bukayo Saka will be sidelined for an extended period following surgery on a hamstring injury sustained during the team's 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace on December 21, 2024. 
Arteta stated, "He had a procedure, everything went well, but unfortunately he will be out for many, many weeks. I think it will be more than two months."
This development means Saka is expected to miss several crucial fixtures, including Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, as well as key FA Cup and Champions League games.
In Saka's absence, Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town on December 27, 2024, at the Emirates Stadium. Kai Havertz scored the decisive goal in the 23rd minute, propelling the Gunners to second place in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Liverpool.
The team will need to adapt to the challenges posed by Saka's absence as they continue their campaign across multiple competitions.
