Liverpool handed injury boost as key Arsenal player will miss October clash

Bukayo Saka ruled out of Arsenal's trip to Liverpool with injury

Liverpool have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Arsenal on October 9, with Bukayo Saka ruled out of the game.

The England international suffered a knock in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Tottenham on Saturday and has been ruled out for at least two weeks.

Saka's absence a blow to Arsenal's attacking threat

Saka has been one of Arsenal's most impressive players this season, scoring four goals and providing four assists in all competitions.

His pace and trickery will be a big miss for the Gunners, who will be looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season against Liverpool.

Liverpool, meanwhile, will be hoping to take advantage of Saka's absence and claim a victory that would move them top of the Premier League table.
