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

Liverpool have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Arsenal next month, with Bukayo Saka ruled out due to injury.

The England international suffered a knock in training and will miss the Gunners' next three matches, including the trip to Anfield on October 9.

Saka has been a key player for Arsenal this season, scoring three goals in six appearances, and his absence will be a blow to Mikel Arteta's side.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have been in good form this season, winning four of their opening six games, and will be confident of extending their unbeaten run against Arsenal.

Here are the key details of the injury:

• Bukayo Saka has suffered a knock in training.
• He will miss Arsenal's next three matches, including the trip to Anfield on October 9.
• The injury is a blow to Arsenal, who have been in good form this season.
• Liverpool will be confident of extending their unbeaten run against Arsenal.

Saka's injury is a boost for Liverpool, who will be looking to close the gap on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

The Reds are currently three points behind the champions, but they have a game in hand.

A win over Arsenal would see Liverpool move to within a point of City, and they will be confident of taking all three points against a weakened Gunners side.
