Arsenal suffered a major blow on Monday after Mikel Arteta confirmed winger Bukayo Saka has been ruled out with “many weeks” with a hamstring injury.

Saka picked up the injury during the first half of the 5-1 victory against Crystal Palace, signaling to the bench after a cross before being replaced by Leandro Trossard.

Arsenal take on Ipswich Town on Friday amid a busy set of Christmas fixtures.
