Bukayo Saka suffered Hamstring Injury

Saka sustained the hamstring injury during Arsenal's 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace on December 21, 2024. He was forced to leave the match early and was subsequently seen departing the stadium on crutches. Following medical assessments, it was determined that surgery was necessary to address the severity of the injury.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that Saka will take more than two months to recover, with much of his recovery depending on the severity. Arteta also advised the England star to go on holiday and spend moments with his family.

When will Bukayo Saka Return?

As per Sun Sports, Saka is anticipated to return to action in early March 2025, following a significant hamstring injury that has sidelined him since December 2024. Manager Mikel Arteta has indicated that Saka's recovery is progressing, with a potential comeback targeted for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg on March 4 or 5.

If Saka's recovery is not complete in the Champions League encounter, the England international is likely to be integrated into the side on March 9 in the crucial away trip at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

Bukayo Saka Stats in 2024-25

Prior to his injury, Saka was in exceptional form, significantly contributing to Arsenal's campaign. In the Premier League, he made 16 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 10 assists. His tally of 10 assists was the highest in Europe's top five leagues at that point in the season, underscoring his pivotal role in Arsenal's attacking prowess.
