Saka, 25, will miss England's Nations League ​matches against Croatia and Spain this ⁠month as he continues his recovery.

"We're ​talking about weeks. Let's see, after the ​international break he'll start hitting the pitch... but unfortunately he's going to be out for ​a while," Arteta told reporters ahead ​of Saturday's league clash with Hull City.

Arteta said ‌he ⁠did not want to put too much pressure on Arsenal's fitness staff.

Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa was feeling better after ​leaving the ​field with ⁠knee discomfort during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League win at ​Slavia Prague, Arteta added.

Arteta's side lead ​the ⁠Premier League with 24 points from nine matches, and sit third in the ⁠Champions ​League table, two points ​below Paris St Germain and Real Madrid.
