Mikel Arteta gives dream Bukayo Saka injury update ahead of Arsenal return against Fulham

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka is ready to play for Arsenal again and has even hinted he could start on Tuesday evening.

Arteta has addressed the media ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Fulham in the Premier League. The Gunners will hope to secure another important win as they target a flawless end to their domestic season.

Having the chance to reintegrate Saka into the squad will come as a huge boost especially considering the UEFA Champions League tie with Real Madrid to come in the coming weeks. However, after the post to social media showing Saka’s return to the grass, the hype and excitement have gone through the roof.

Arteta was therefore naturally asked about Saka’s return and for more specifics on when he might be seen and in what capacity. However, what Arteta would say was perhaps beyond what many might expect.

Many have worried whether the winger has been rushed back from action. That being said, Arteta did reiterate that the amount of time needed to return from his injury has been respected.

“He is pushing, we have to respect the timeframe,” he said. “He is ready to go.”

Arsenal take on Fulham on Tuesday evening at 19:45. You can follow all the build-up and coverage from four hours before kick-off on the football.london matchday blog.
