Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal may need to dip into the transfer market to replace the injured Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling.

It is a double blow Arsenal after Bukaya Saka was ruled out for “many weeks” with a hamstring injury. Eagles backup quarterback Kenny Pickett also suffered a rib injury in that loss to the Commanders.

Ben White underwent minor knee surgery in November and, while Arteta issued a positive update towards the end of that month, his return date remains unclear. “The surgery went really well, there is no reaction after that,” he said.
