Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has broken his silence after suffering a devastating injury blow. Saka, who has scored nine goals for the Gunners this season, suffered a hamstring injury in the 5-1 win over Crystal Palace and given it was the third issue this season, it was decided that the England international undergo surgery.

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has vowed to come back stronger after undergoing surgery on his hamstring injury. The 23-year-old was forced off during the first half of Arsenal’s 5-1 win against Crystal Palace on December 21 and missed his side’s 1-0 victory at home to Ipswich Town on Friday night.

Along with fellow defender White and Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu is Arsenal’s other long-term absentee at present, having suffered a knee injury during pre-season and then sustained a fresh setback after just one six-minute cameo appearance off the bench against Southampton in the Premier League in early October.
