The head coach of London "Arsenal" Mikel Artet shared the latest news about the health of one of the key players of the team - Bukayo Saka. 23-year-old winger underwent surgery on a popliteal tendon after a injury, and its recovery periods remain uncertain.
According to the artet, the operation was successful, but the recovery process can take more than two months. "Saka has been surgery. Everything has passed well, but unfortunately it will be missing many, many weeks," the canonical mentor said in a comment for Sky Sports.
The trainer added that the exact timing of the player's return will depend on how the scar tissue will heal in the first days after surgery. "It is very difficult to say. This will depend on how the scar tissue begins to heal, in the first week or so, and on its mobility," Artet said.
This season, Bukayo Saka showed a brilliant shape, having held 24 matches in Arsenal in all tournaments. In his account, nine goals and 13 productive gears, which made him one of the most important players of the team.
The loss of Saka will be a serious challenge for canonists, which fight on several fronts. The team is forced to look for new solutions to maintain attacking power at the time of the absence of its star winger.
