Arsenal's Bukayo Saka sustained a thigh (quad) injury during the 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the injury would sideline Saka for "weeks," with repeat scans scheduled in a week to 10 days to determine the full extent. Press reports indicate a potential absence of six to eight weeks, which could see him miss up to 12 games before Christmas, including fixtures against Fleetwood, Liverpool, Hull, and Newcastle.

Other Arsenal players also dealing with injuries include Saliba (back), Tzolis (hamstring), and Calafiori (hip), though Declan Rice's hamstring worry from the Everton game appears minor. Fantasy Premier League (FPL) advises selling Saka due to his prolonged absence, with the Gameweek 9 deadline approaching before his scan results are expected.
