Star Player Faces Brief Pause from Action…
Arsenal’s super winger Bukayo Saka is going on an unwanted month-long vacation from the pitch after tweaking his hamstring during a thrilling 5-0 victory over Leeds. This means Arsenal’s Premier League showdown with Liverpool will look a lot less Saka-fied, and England’s World Cup qualifiers might have to go on without their golden boy. Saka helped Arsenal score the kind of goal that should be bottled and sold as happiness, but his departure during the second half left fans clutching their hearts faster than a parent watching their toddler near a vase.
Adding to their sorrows, Arsenal’s captain Martin Odegaard seems to have turned his shoulder into a fortune cookie by misfortune, leaving his participation against Liverpool as curious as a giraffe doing a limbo dance. This double doozy of injuries paves the way for new gunner Eberechi Eze to make an immediate impact. England’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, will have to juggle his tactics sans Saka like a circus clown on a unicycle juggling flaming torches. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s manager Arteta is feeling like a one-man band whose tambourine and bass drum have suddenly gone missing, expressing the physical toll of the game with a philosophical sigh.
