Arsenal face being without Bukayo Saka for the majority of the second half of the 2024/25 season after sustaining a hamstring injury in the 5-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Saka was forced off in the 24th minute with the Gunners 2-1 up and was replaced by Leandro Trossard. After missing the 1-0 win over Ipswich Town on Friday night, Mikel Arteta confirmed the winger was going to be out for some time.

"He had a procedure," he said. "Everything went well, but unfortunately he will be out for many, many weeks." The Arsenal boss continued: "I think it will be more than two months.

"I don't know exactly how much longer. It will depend on how the scar tissue starts to heal, the first week or so, the mobility of that. Let's see, it's very difficult to say."

Speculation over how long Saka will miss has circulated online with injury expert Physio Scout, claiming he 'should' be out for around three-and-a-half to four months. That would mean the 23-year-old could not return to the Arsenal squad until March/April time.

So, what are the games he could miss between now and then?
