Bukayo Saka's injury casts a significant shadow over Arsenal and England's upcoming fixtures, adding to concerns about his recurring injury problems. Arsenal and the England national team suffered a setback with the injury sustained by Bukayo Saka during their Premier League match against Chelsea.

Reports in Italy suggested that the knee issue was not a serious one, and Arteta confirmed ahead of the trip to Newcastle that the defender was likely to miss a “few weeks”. There has been no firm update on Calafiori’s recovery, but Arsenal will hope to have him available again later this month.
