It’s really just depends on what ‘’many weeks’ means. If it’s mid-January then they absorb it fine but if it’s end of Jan then I think they could be out of title race, it’s a real fine line. They’ve rushed him back too many times this season it feels like and finally broke him.

It's a blow for them, but I don't think it will impact them as badly as when they lost Odegaard.

Perhaps not, especially with others coming into form, but he’s always been their cheat code when needed

I agree with the wider point though. They are going to need everyone on top form as it stands so not having Saka at all is significant.

Saka has been so frustrating… he scored so many important goals. I still see Arsenal as the best ‘other’ team right now. Every point they drop is huge for us. I really hope this harms their results!

I agree, they're the main challenge right now and perhaps the chase rather than holding the lead may suit them more. But we can only concentrate on ourselves and what we can control.
