When Bukayo Saka is now expected to be back in action for Arsenal after his injury
Arsenal are in a difficult situation as we head into the business end of the season.
The title race is over in the eyes of many, but Arsenal are through to the Champions League qu🔥arter-finals.
The Gunners face Real Madrid in the nextꦑ round of the Champions League, and they will need their star players to be bang at it if they’re to stand a chance of progressing.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, a numb✤er of their star players are sidelined with injur🔯y right now.
Kai Havertz is out for the season, while Bukayo Saka has been injured recently.
However,♏ Saka is on the road to recovery, and according to James McNicholas, speaking on the Handbrake Off Podcast, Saka is expected to be back sooner rather than later.
When Bukayo Saka could return for Arsenal
Accordinꦦg𝕴 to McNicholas, Saka is expected to return to full training this month.
Saka is then expected to be back in 💦first-team action after the upcoming international break.
“The last I heard, they expect him to return to full training. So full contact training at some point this month, with a view to being involved from when we return after the𒊎 international break in April. That’s kind of the hopeful outcome, assuming there’s no setbacks or complications or i꧑ssues,” McNicholas said.
“That Madrid game does co🧔me around very, very quickly, as you say. I think the home leg is the 8th, am I right in that? Yeah🀅, April the 8th.
“Only one game before that, at the start of April, which is Everton away. I don’t know, I’d love to see him on the pitch. My gut says it mig🐻ht come a fraction too soon, that he might be more likely to be involved, maybe 💫as a substitute than as a starter.”
Bukayo Saka stats this season
Saka’s return for Arsenal will be a massive boost f🍎or the Gunners.
Indeed, Saka is a world class player, and h✱e’s💃 been in red hot form when he has played this season.
Saka is a key creative and goalscoring force🌃 for Arsenal, and 🅰his stats on those fronts this season have been mightily impressive.
| Bukayo Saka Premier League stats | |
|---|---|
| Games | 16 |
| Goals | 5 |
| Assists | 10 |
Of course, Arsenal face an uphil🔥l battle if they want to get past Real Madrid in the Champions League, but if Saka is fit and available, their chances of getting past the Spanish giants will be much higher.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz won’t be back fit in time for the Champions League 💛clash against Madrid, but, if all goes to plan, Saka should be able to feature against the reigning European champions.
