Saka underwent a long-term hamstiff injury against Crystal Palace in December and has been out of service since.
The Gunners had trouble performing in his absence with the challenge of the title of Arsenal weaken each week that passes without their star winger.
Although he made good progress in his recovery, Arteta has confirmed that the English star is still several weeks to make his return.
The Gunners were unhappy with injuries to Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Saka.
Arteta was questioned about Saka after the match at Old Trafford, he said, as indicated by AIM::

Arsenal missed Bukayo Saka
In his absence, the Gunners were forced to present an attack by Leandro Trossard, Mikel Merino and Ethan Nwaneri.
It remains to be seen if Saka could return so that the Gunners participate in the last stages of the Champions League.
With their title challenge, most likely finished now, Arsenal is fighting to win the Champions League and considering that they have managed to win their 16-game match against the PSV 7-1, their qualification in the next round is almost confirmed.
They would face Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the next round and Saka would be necessary if they wanted to have a chance to go to the semi-finals.
The Gunners should strengthen their attack in summer with Liam Delap from Ipswich Town one of their transfer objectives.
Arsenal would also have sent scouts to watch the star of Inter Milan Marcus Thuram.
