ARSENAL star Bukayo Saka is set for MONTHS out after undergoing a procedure.
Saka, 23, was forced off just 23 minutes into the Gunners' 5-1 thrashing of Crystal Palace with a hamstring injury last week.
Manager Mikel Arteta issued a bleak update regarding his star winger's fitness.
And the Arsenal boss confirmed the England international could be out for more than two months.
Arteta said: “I prefer to leave it to the doctor or himself.
But yes Bukayo had a procedure and everything went well, but unfortunately he will be out for many, many weeks.”
“Many weeks, I think it will be more than two months, I don’t know how long it will take with the scar tissue or improving his mobility.
“We have to rely on the team, that is our strength, we are a team of players who can score 20-30 goals together.”
Saka has been a focal points for Arsenal this season as he dominated opponents down the right flank.
The forward has amassed a total of nine goals and 13 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions this season.
