Arsenal fear Bukayo Saka will be out for up to eight weeks and could miss Liverpool and Manchester City clashes

Bukayo Saka clutched his thigh after a long-range pass just 10 minutes into Wednesday's Champions League draw with Bayern Munich and hobbled off for Eberechi Eze. Mikel Arteta said fluid in the area made the damage hard to judge and ordered another MRI. The six-to-eight-week timeline could rule the England forward out of 13 games. That includes the north London derby at Tottenham and Manchester United before Christmas.

Arteta warned straight after the Bayern game that it 'doesn't look good at all'.

Ezri Konsa scored his first Arsenal goal as the champions beat Everton 2-0 without Saka.

The win lifts Arsenal level on points with leaders Manchester City.
