Bukayo Saka’s injury early on in the game at Bayern Munich has very much put a blot on what was otherwise a fine night for Arsenal.

The Gunners once again proved they’re very much up to matching the elite in Europe by first going ahead and then coming from behind to take a point away from Germany in a hard fought battle.

Saka appeared to pull with a thigh issue after playing the ball and with little known on just how bad it was, Arsenal fans are left on edge after seeing him get replaced.

However, while it could be a decent spell out for Saka, all is not lost and instead, it could be a short period out too.

Bukayo Saka’s injury lay-off could be short or long-term

A thigh problem is never ideal, for any player. Not least a winger who relies on quick changes of direction and shifts in power in order to move past players.

Of course, the six week injury or more is the absolute nightmare scenario for Saka and Arsenal here. As would a torn quadricep be. On first glance, it wouldn’t appear to be that serious though.

However, this is still bad timing for the Gunners. With Christos Tzolis out injured on the opposite side and Andrea Berta failing to land a new winger in the summer, Arsenal’s options out wide suddenly look weak.

With this one, the Gunners will be hoping Saka’s problem is only short-term. If not, then it could well be a huge problem for the club and derail their title chances.
