Mikel Arteta is hopeful that Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will be available for Arsenal after the March international break but remains cautious about managing their workload.
“I believe so, but we need to monitor their progress over the next few weeks to ensure they take the right steps. Since they’ve been out for a significant period, we’ll have to reintroduce them gradually,” Arteta explained.
“They are making good progress, but they still have some way to go.”
Saka has been out since December, while Martinelli sustained an injury in early February.
