Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka Nears Return from Injury
Arsenal’s star winger Bukayo Saka has been absent from the first team since late December, but his recent return to training has sparked excitement about his imminent comeback. The £195,000-per-week player’s absence has been keenly felt, with Arsenal struggling to break down defensive teams in recent months.
Saka’s impressive tally of 9 goals and 13 assists this season, along with his league-leading key passes per 90 minutes, underscores his importance to Arsenal’s attack. His return would be a major boost for the team, especially with crucial Champions League quarter-final matches against Real Madrid on the horizon.
Fortunately for Arsenal fans, Saka was spotted in full training this week. Reputable sources, including transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, have reported that the 23-year-old is expected to be fit in time for the Real Madrid fixtures.
BBC journalist Sami Mokbel has added a new twist to the story, suggesting Saka could even feature in Arsenal’s upcoming Premier League match against Fulham. However, the medical staff will likely exercise caution in his return to action.
With Arsenal’s league title hopes fading, manager Mikel Arteta may prioritize Saka’s fitness for the Champions League matches. Rushing the England international back unnecessarily could jeopardize Arsenal’s European campaign, where Saka’s presence could be crucial for success.
