Back in training with the group after the international break, the return to the fields of Bukayo Saka after more than three months of absence could take place today, against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium. Excellent news for Arsenal, just a few days from the quarter -final first leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid.

“We have respected the deadlines, but we did everything step by step, and even had to remember it. He is ready to play. It is another major asset that we have, we know the impact he had on the team and the importance of his role and his contribution to our success, so it's great to find him ”commented Mikel Arteta at a press conference before the meeting. With ten assists in the Premier League, Saka is still the second best passer in the Derrrière Mohamed Salah championship. And he hasn't played since December 21.
