Mikel Arteta has said he and Arsenal must find a way to cope without Bukayo Saka after confirming the England forward is set to be sidelined for “many weeks” due to the hamstring injury he sustained against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Saka was pictured leaving Selhurst Park on crutches after he limped off during the first half of his side’s 5-1 victory, with Arteta confirming on Monday that the 23-year-old has torn a hamstring. The Arsenal manager described it as a huge blow and also revealed that back-up Raheem Sterling is likely to be out for several weeks after picking up a knee injury in training.
