Arsenal have received a major boost ahead of their Premier League meeting with Fulham after manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Bukayo Saka is available for selection.
Softfootball understands that the England international has been sidelined for around three months with a hamstring injury sustained against Crystal Palace in December. His return comes at an important stage of the campaign, with Arsenal still competing for major honours.
Saka was among Arsenal’s most productive players before the injury, scoring five goals and providing 10 assists during the opening part of the 2024/25 season. Arteta has now indicated that the winger is ready to make his comeback.
Speaking ahead of the Fulham clash, Arteta said the necessary precautions had been taken during Saka’s rehabilitation.
All the careful things are already done. Now it’s about putting him on the grass at the right moment.
The Arsenal boss added that Saka has been eager to return and has worked hard throughout his recovery. His availability provides Arteta with another important attacking option as Arsenal enter the decisive part of the season.
