I failed this season, too Arsenal's Hope to Win Away, Key Power Saka Season Outweight Rise
Dec 24, 2024

Bukayo Saka (23), who served as Arsenal's main winger and was the lifeblood of the attack, collapsed. The injuries are serious. This is because it is already the third repeated hamstring injury this season. This time, the condition is so bad that even muscle rupture is suspected. Maybe I won't be able to play until March next year. It appears to be a 'season out-of-class injury'.

Arsenal, led by head coach Mikel Arteta, is like an icon of bad luck. He kept having to kneel by almost a point on the threshold of winning. The same was true for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons. It was repeated twice to give Manchester City a come-from-behind victory while maintaining the top spot in the league.

It's not that there's no chance of a come-from-behind victory. I've only played until round 17 yet. No. 1 Liverpool have played one less game, with a point difference of six. It is not a step to give up. There is a good chance of a reversal.
However, in front of Arsenal, who had been so motivated, came 'Injuries Devil'. This is the rise of main winger Saka. Saka started before the crystal pass in the 17th round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at Selhurst Park Stadium in London, England, early on the 22nd. Arsenal won 5-1 on the day with a strong attack. It has been undefeated for seven consecutive games. It is a situation that can lay the groundwork for the come-from-behind victory.
But he said 'Hosadama' There was a big bad news behind this victory. Saka was hurt. Crossed from the right side in the 21st minute and then balked to the floor. The on-site medical staff checked it, but he was not in a condition to continue playing. Saka was immediately replaced.

The Daily Mail reported 'Arteta said Saka's condition was not good. Arteta revealed Saka's condition ahead of the 18th round of Ipswich batting scheduled for the 28th. "Saka is an important player for us, but he's not in good shape. It will be a practice to overcome difficulties,' he said, trying to express positively.
However, there is a possibility that Saka will be out for the season as it is. This is the third hamstring injury this season alone. The Daily Mail said 'The Arsenal club is conducting further examinations. In some cases, you may be absent from the end of February to early March. It's a big blow for Arsenal. Saka was serving as the team's pillar with five goals and 10 assists in 16 league games this season.
Saka's departure is likely to be a major obstacle for Arsenal to eventually rise to the top. Attention is focusing on whether Arteta and Arsenal will be frustrated again this season or whether they will use the crisis as a new driving force.
