Est. Return 2/22/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Saka was hampered by injuries throughout the 2024/25 campaign, clocking in with six goals and 10 assists, his worst return since his breakout in 2020/21. The winger remains one of the most productive players in the Premier League when healthy and importantly finished the season at full fitness. He offers immense upside in every facet of the game, whether taking a split of corners or scoring goals by himself. Even in an injury-hampered season he was a willing shooter with 67 shots across 25 appearances (20 starts). If he can stay fit for the full season, Saka should comfortably push past 20 goal contributions once more.
Out with muscular injury
Saka is out for Tuesday's match against Arsenal due to a muscular injury, according to Simon Collings of The Sun. According to manager Mikel Arteta, Saka "is okay, we need to have more tests tomorrow to understand how he is. This game was too short, but let's hope that it's not too much [longer he's out]."
ANALYSIS
Saka has avoided a major injury after some testing but is still set for some time out, as the attacker has been ruled out for their next four games due to a muscle injury in the hip. This will leave the English national eyeing a return when facing Tottenham on Feb. 22, hoping to return to face their rivals in the North London Derby. His absence will be a major loss for the club as they continue without a starter, scoring four goals and three assist in 21 appearances, likely forcing Noni Madueke to start in his place until a return is made.

Will be assessed Tuesday
Saka (undisclosed) is a late call for Tuesday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We have to wait. Today, he was better, but we have to wait and see how he responds, and then make the decision. It doesn't look like something too serious. Whether he's going to be available for tomorrow or the weekend, we'll see."

Late scratch Saturday
Saka (undisclosed) missed Saturday's 4-0 victory against Leeds United after suffering a little niggle during the warm-up of the game, coach Mikel Arteta said in a press conference. "In the warm-up, he had a little niggle, he wasn't comfortable starting the game, so immediately we made a decision to make that change and bring Noni in. And he was ready, because you cannot do that in two minutes. The way he prepared, the way he's waiting for opportunity, I think it paid off today because he really impacted the team."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to sign new deal?
Saka could sign a new deal with Arsenal in the near future, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
The new deal hasn't been agreed on, but reports indicate that both sides are already discussing a potential extension. Saka's contract ends in 2027, so Arsenal could face the prospect of losing their star winger after the 2026/27 campaign if they don't move quickly to secure a new deal. Saka hasn't shown any desire to leave the Emirates Stadium, but Arsenal are certainly doing their diligence to keep their star player happy.
