Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged star forward Bukayo Saka to go on holiday while he is suffering from a hamstring injury sustained against Crystal Palace last month. The England international had scored nine goals and 13 assists before injury interrupted his season and ruled him out until March at the earliest.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told Bukayo Saka to take a well-earned holiday. Saka is currently out injured after tearing his hamstring last month and is not expected back in action until at least March. The injury is the first major one of Saka’s career and prior to that he had been one of Arsenal and England’s most consistent performers.
