• 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
