Arsenal's season has taken a turn for the worse with Bukayo Saka set to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury.
Mikel Arteta confirmed ahead of Ipswich Town that Saka tore something, supposedly his hamstring given the player's reaction on the pitch against Crystal Palace. Arteta historically is vague about player injuries and fitness levels, but there's no denying how difficult it will be to replace Saka's output. Though, the manager is not shying away from the challenge.
Nor should the players who will likely fill in for Arsenal's talisman. The busy festive period will soon turn into the make-or-break portion with a Carabao Cup semifinal on the horizon, the Champions League knockout stage and eventually the FA Cup. Arsenal's Premier League title challenge isn't over, but the focus should be on picking up three points every week and letting the rest of the field play out.
Here are the three Arsenal players that need to fill in and step up as Saka recovers.
