Team news: Updates on Saka and Sterling
Saka injuryBukayo Saka will be unavailable for many weeks, according to Mikel Arteta in his pre-Ipswich Town press conference on Monday.
Our number seven went down in the 24th minute of Saturday’s 5-1 win away to Crystal Palace and had to be replaced by Leandro Trossard.
“It’s not looking good,” Mikel said. “Obviously he’s a big player for us. You just have to see the impact that he has on the team, but it’s going to be a really good exercise for all of us to think about ways to overcome another challenge, because we’ve already had a lot in the season.”
Unfortunately Raheem Sterling won’t be one of the way we can overcome the challenge, as he is also expected to be out for a number of weeks.
