Saka ‘ready to go’ after three months out

Manager Mikel Arteta confirms that Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is back in shape after missing three months with a broken foot.

The England international had surgery on a hamstring issue suffered in Arsenal’s Premier League victory over Crystal Palace on December 21.

Saka could be in the Emirates Stadium’s league match against Fulham on Tuesday, where he has nine goals and 10 assists in all of his previous 24 games for Arsenal this season.

“Everything has already been done,” he declares. He’s pushing because he really wants to, so it’s about to put him on the grass at the right moment.

We have followed the deadline and completed everything.

“Bukayo is a massive weapon,” said Bukayo. We are aware of his significance and role in our success and how significant he is to the team.

With nine games left, Arsenal is now 12 points clear of Liverpool in the Premier League.

Riccardo Calafiori, a defender for Italy against Germany on March 20, has a knee injury that will keep him sidelines.

Arteta remarked, “It could have been much worse.”

“We have to wait and see how the injury develops,” said one doctor, “hopefully it’s going to be a matter of weeks.”

At Monday’s press conference on Monday, Andrea Berta, Arsenal’s new sporting director, was present. He had been chosen this week to succeed Edu.
