Bukayo Saka is set to miss Arsenal’s Premier League clash against Liverpool as well as England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia next month after suffering a hamstring injury against Leeds United om Saturday.
Saka, who had scored the Gunners’ second goal against Leeds, went down in the 53rd minute, calling for medical attention. After a chat with the medical team, it was decided that he could not continue as he limped off the pitch.

The 23-year-old was out of action for three months last season after undergoing an operation after suffering a hamstring injury in Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Crystal Palace in December.
Gunners captain, Martin Odegaard, who was also subbed off earlier during the Leeds match due to a shoulder injury, is doubtful for the match at Anfield.
Despite these two crucial players being unavailable, there is optimism in the Arsenal camp that neither injury is long-term and both will be available for selection soon.
