Arsenal fear Bukayo Saka faces up to eight weeks out and could miss clashes with Liverpool, Manchester City and Spurs

Bukayo Saka lasted just 10 minutes of Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw at Bayern Munich before grabbing his thigh after receiving a long-range pass and being withdrawn, with Eberechi Eze coming on in his place. Mikel Arteta confirmed that fluid around the injury had required a second MRI. The winger is now looking at a six-to-eight-week absence, potentially running past Christmas, with up to 13 matches under threat.

Arteta warned that Saka was 'struggling to walk without any pain', calling that 'not good signs'.

The home fixture against Manchester United — Arsenal's final match before Christmas — is also in doubt.

Without Saka, the Gunners defeated Everton 2-0 on Saturday to draw level on points with leaders Manchester City.
