Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that winger Bukayo Saka is fit again and ready to return to action after a three-month layoff due to a hamstring injury.
The winger had surgery on a hamstring problem suffered last December and would likely feature in Arsenal’s next Premier League game against Fulham at Emirates Stadium.
“Bukayo Saka is ready to go,” said Arteta.
“All the careful things are already done. Now it’s about putting him on the grass at the right moment but he’s pushing because he really wants to. We have respected the timeline and we have done everything.
“Bukayo is a massive weapon that we have. We know the impact he has in the team and how important his role and contribution is to our success.”
“It could have been much worse,” said Arteta. “Hopefully it’s going to be a matter of weeks, but we have to see how the injury evolves.”
Arsenal are second in the Premier League, 12 points behind leaders Liverpool with nine games remaining.
