‎Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that star winger Bukayo Saka is ready to return to action after a three-month absence due to a hamstring injury. Saka, who last played on December 21, underwent surgery and has been diligently working on his recovery. The 21-year-old is set to feature in Arsenal’s upcoming match against Fulham on Tuesday, with Arteta indicating that he could even start the game.
‎Saka’s return is a significant boost for Arsenal as they prepare for crucial fixtures, including a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. His absence has been felt, with Arsenal trailing league leaders Liverpool by several points. Arteta highlighted Saka’s importance, stating he is “another massive weapon” for the team.
‎”Bukayo is a key player for us, and his return will undoubtedly strengthen our attack,” Arteta said during a press conference. “He has been working incredibly hard to get back to full fitness, and we are all excited to see him back on the pitch.”
‎The winger’s comeback is expected to inject new energy into Arsenal’s campaign. Saka has been a vital component of the team, known for his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability. His absence has forced Arteta to adjust his lineup, but with Saka back, Arsenal can revert to their preferred formation and style of play.
‎Fans are eagerly anticipating his return to the pitch, as Saka’s presence often lifts the team’s morale and performance. His ability to create scoring opportunities and provide width to Arsenal’s attack will be crucial in the remaining matches of the season.
‎Arteta also praised the medical staff for their role in Saka’s recovery, noting that they have done an excellent job in ensuring he is fully fit before returning to competitive action. “The medical team has been fantastic, and we are confident that Bukayo is ready to perform at his best,” Arteta added.
‎As Arsenal looks to close the gap in the Premier League and make a strong run in the Champions League, Saka’s return could not have come at a better time. His presence will undoubtedly boost the team’s chances of achieving their goals this season.
