Arsenal fans have received a significant boost ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester City, as star winger Bukayo Saka has returned to training. Saka, who suffered a muscle injury during Arsenal’s 2-1 Champions League defeat to RC Lens, was forced to leave the pitch in the first half, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial match against City.
However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an encouraging update, stating that Saka is “in contention” to feature in the upcoming fixture. Arteta emphasized the importance of monitoring Saka’s progress in the days leading up to the match, saying, “He is in contention; we’ll see how he progresses from here to Sunday.”
In addition to Saka’s potential return, fellow winger Gabriel Martinelli is also making strides in his recovery from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since September. Reports indicate that Martinelli’s rehabilitation has “accelerated,” raising the possibility of his inclusion in the matchday squad against Manchester City.
The potential return of both Saka and Martinelli would be a significant boost for Arsenal as they prepare to face the reigning Premier League champions. Their availability would provide Arteta with additional attacking options in a match that could have substantial implications for the title race.
