The prospect of Saka, who injured his hamstring (back muscle of his thigh), missing up to 15 games was real. On the 29th (Korean time), Saka said on his SNS, `Most people see obstacles, but few see opportunities.' The recovery has begun, and I will be stronger and go back. Thank you for your support' shared his present image with the message with his right thumb up.
Saka collapsed in the 17th round of the English Premier League (EPL) 2024-2025 season against Crystal Palace on the 22nd. Arsenal won 5-1, but Saka was replaced by an injury in the 24th minute of the first half.
Arsenal scored a cross with a 2-1 lead and suddenly collapsed clutching the back of their right thighs before complaining of pain. It was a hamstring injury. He was seen leaving the stadium on crutches, raising concerns.
The situation was the worst. I was told that surgery is inevitable for a quick recovery. Arsenal beat Ipswich Town 1-0 in the 18th round of the EPL on the 28th in Saka's absence to secure three valuable points.
Gabriel Martinelli was in Saka's place. However, it is true that Arsenal's competition for the championship has turned on a red light. Saka is unlikely to be able to play until March at most.

Arsenal are second in the EPL (36 points). There is a six-point gap with Liverpool (42 points), which has played one less game. Chelsea (35 points) and Nottingham Forest (34 points) in third and fourth places have been chasing under the chin.
If Saka misses 15 games, Arsenal will have to face Newcastle United, Manchester United, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Manchester City in turn without Saka. The 'North London Derby' against Tottenham will be held on January 16 next year.
Arteta said, `We have to play as a team. That is our team's ability. Our strength is that it's a team of players who score 20 to 30 goals together."
Saka has played in 16 matches in the EPL this season, with five goals and 10 assists.
