Arsenal are facing injuries as Bukayo Saka has injured his Achilles tendon.
The England international has been Arsenal’s main playmaker this season. The Canaries are struggling to score goals as Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah are all missing.
Saka has been a mainstay of the Arsenal team, sometimes carrying the team on his back and scoring goals.
The young striker also scored against Fulham in Arsenal’s last Premier League defeat.
According to the Daily Mirror, Saka has been playing with an injury for the last few weeks.
He is facing a recurring Achilles muscle injury. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has used Saka often as the Spaniard relies too much on him to create and finish chances.
The second half of the season is expected to be more challenging for Arsenal as it battles for the Premier League and Champions League titles.
They will also soon be involved in the FA Cup and with the transfer window opening, this is the best time for Arsenal and Arteta to make a plan to manage Saka’s workload and acquire a player who can play in his position.
Arsenal will find it difficult to rest Sako in the coming games as they struggle to regain lost form. In recent Premier League matches, the Gunners have lost to Aston Villa, West Ham and Fulham.
Arteta has only one win in five Premier League games, so he must not take his foot off the gas in what is considered the most crucial period of the season.
