The Gunners recently had a huge setback with Saka picking up a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace away from home.

The club graduate will be sidelined for many weeks as a result and reports claim that he could be out until March at least.

Arteta has now provided more bad news by revealing that Raheem Sterling could be out for a similar period with a knee issue.

He said: "He’s gonna be out for weeks. He needs further testing tomorrow to understand the extent of his injury. It’s his knee."

Sterling has had a disappointing season on loan with the Gunners and he has failed to make any impact in the Premier League.

Saka's injury could have opened the door for him, but he has picked up a setback of his own which will keep him out for weeks.
