Arteta's update on Saka
Speaking after the game, Mikel Arteta admitted he was worried.
"He will have to be assessed. Pretty worried about that. It?s difficult to guess now. They have tested him, but it is difficult to say how bad it is," as quoted by Football London.
When will Bukayo Saka return?
The England international was spotted leaving the stadium with crutches, further causing concern for Arsenal faithful.
The Times now reports that Saka could miss four to six weeks, which would be a severe blow to Arsenal's title charge.
Games Bukayo Saka could miss for Arsenal
A four-week layoff would see the 23-year-old miss crucial games for the Gunners, which include a third-round FA Cup tie against Manchester United before facing North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The stretch could also include a tricky tie against Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal match report
Arteta's side made light work of Palace despite Saka's early exit. Gabriel Jesus continued his fine form against Palace, grabbing a first-half brace either side of an Ismailla Sarr equaliser. Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Declan Rice each added a goal to take Arsenal to 33 points.
Liverpool's win over Spurs on Sunday evening means that the Reds have a six-point advantage having played a game less.
