Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has advised star man Bukayo Saka on the next steps to take following his long-term injury.

Bukayo Saka has developed into one of the best footballers in England, and his long-term injury has certainly affected Arsenal’s productivity and ability to match Liverpool stride for stride in the title race.

The 23-year-old had contributed 9 goals and 13 assists before the hamstring injury he sustained against Crystal Palace last December.

His rehabilitation time is reportedly three months, which sets him up tentatively for a March return, at which point, the title race may be over.

Arteta tells Saka to leave England on holiday

Speaking about his star player’s rehabilitation, manager Mikel Arteta explained that it might be best for Saka to get away for a short period to refresh.

“He needs to go on holiday,” Arteta said

“He is obligated to go, with his girlfriend, or his family, or on his own, he can choose.

“He needs to go away for a few days and refresh. He can still do a lot of things with his rehabilitation because it is the perfect stage. It will make him better.”

Arsenal will have a 10-day break next month and there are plans to visit Dubai for a warm-weather training camp. Arteta has indicated Saka must take advantage of that period to travel on holiday.

“He (Saka) has been with his teammates every single day. But there is a moment, especially when we are going to be away for a few days, that he needs to go on holiday

“That is very important for him as well.”
