In a new update on Saka’s fitness, Arteta told reporters at the Emirates Stadium on Friday evening after watching his side work for a creative spark without their most important player: “He had a procedure.
“Everything went well, but unfortunately he will be out for several weeks.
“I said several weeks so I think it will take more than two months. I don’t know exactly how long.
“It will depend on how the scar tissue starts to heal, in the first week or so, and how mobile it is. Let’s see, it’s very difficult to say.”
