Arteta says Saka has done his quad. For you health experts, is that better than the hamstring?

Looking back his history is mainly groin/hip & hamstring related injuries.

It's probably downstream complications from strengthening hip/hamstring after repeated injury

Not a medical expert, but I had 2 acl reconstructions in my left knee and always had hamstring issues because while rehabbing my quad was always so far ahead of hamstring strength wise

Quad is probably better in long run, easier to strengthen, but could cause hamstring injuries in the future on that leg (left) depending on how bad the quad is.

I haven't seen reports that it is torn, so probably out 6-10 weeks

It depends on what exactly Arteta means. If it’s just a quad strain, it’s probably not as bad as doing his hamstring again, however, if it’s a quad tendon tear, that would be terrible.

The good news for Arsenal is you’ll only need to score one against us Toffees to win Saturday.

Saka out 6 to 8 weeks. Will need him back for the turn of the year.

I expect to see more Dowman and Gyokeres pretty soon here.

I joke about it but a 4-4-2 against deep blocks with Gyokeres and Havertz seems decent. Those two despite the fans loving one and hating the other (never seen a fan of both btw) always seem to play really well together. I think Gyokeres is unbelievably underrated at setting up teammates or making a great through pass/line breaking pass.

Looks like Tzolis could be back in some capacity next week as well, so that's good news.

Hincapie available as well:

Damn. I strained a quad once kicking the ball but from not warming up before trying to kick it. But I was only out for a week. Was hoping it wouldn't be this serious.

You didn't strain your quad if you were only out a week

You were saying?


Oh and I was there, you weren't. But thanks for your input doctor.

Pretty solid attacking half. Lots of good interplay in the final 3rd

Shame we only got 1. Hopefully they come out strong to start the 2nd half

Like that Gyokeres was really involved. The team needs to find a balance where yeah the CF moves around and gets in diff positions, but you also got to look for him at the CF position.

Even when Havertz is in it's a lot of dropping out of the CF position to get himself involved, the team needs to work so they don't have to vacate the box to just get a touch.
