Mikel Arteta revealed that Bukayo Saka is due back at the training
Good news for the Gunners. Their beloved golden boy Bukayo Saka might just get back for the high octane quarter final of the champions league against Real Madrid. Mikel Arteta revealed that Saka is due back at the training ground next week to increase the intensity of his rehabilitation and work with the ball at his feet in a competitive environment.
Hamstring injury in December
Saka suffered a hamstring injury in December and has been out ever since. Arsenal have struggled without him and it has been evident that they are missing him dearly. Bukayo Saka was in hot form just before getting injured as he had raked 10 assists even before the turn of the year.
Not only the output, his attacking play from the right hand side and the linkup play with Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber is also missed.
Arsenal have advanced to the quarter final stage of the champions league but the premier league has been rough to tackle without the winger as the Gunners only have 1 win in the last 4 games.
Alongside him, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are also injured which has made the forward line further weak for Arsenal.
Considered a Legend at the Club
Bukayo has been at the club since childhood and is considered a club legend at the club as he has played more than 6 years at the senior level and has served at several positions as well.
Saka has not played in the Premier League since December and still has the second highest assists only after Mohamed Salah who is having a Ballon D’or season.
His inclusion will be a boost for Arsenal as they lacked that killer instinct in the last few match days and to play against the current winners, you have to play your best players. He might not be in the best of form as he is coming after a long break but still can manage to be lethal on the right wing.
This match will be very interesting as this tie is being played after almost 20 years in the champions league and will be an interesting matchup between the best forwards in Europe and the best defense in Europe.
Arsenal hope that Saka makes good progress over the next ten days. He could also feature on the bench in the match against Fulham on 1st April.
