It is "very important" for Bukayo Saka to go on holiday in the not-so-distant future, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who has urged the England international to take a break. Saka has been ruled out until March after tearing his hamstring in a Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on December 21.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told Bukayo Saka to take a well-earned holiday. Saka is currently out injured after tearing his hamstring last month and is not expected back in action until at least March. The injury is the first major one of Saka’s career and prior to that he had been one of Arsenal and England’s most consistent performers.

Bukayo Saka, who was pictured while steadying himself on crutches, is not due back in action until March after suffering a hamstring injury and the absence of the Arsenal talisman remains keenly felt
