how long is saka out for

Bukayo Saka is currently out with a hamstring injury sustained on August 23, 2025, during Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds United. He is expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks. As of mid-September 2025, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has stated that Saka is still recovering and working hard to return, but they need to respect the recovery process. Saka will miss the upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest and is possibly aiming to return by September 21, 2025, in the match against Manchester City, but he is not yet ready for immediate return. His recovery is being closely monitored with specific training, and his actual comeback depends on how he reacts to increasing workload during rehab.
