Mikel Arteta’s update on Bukayo Saka (£10.0m) didn’t sound too bad on Monday.
But reports the following day suggest the injured winger is targeting a return in the north London derby. In Fantasy Premier League (FPL) terms, that’s Gameweek 27.
Excl: Bukayo Saka out of tonight's Carabao Cup semi-final, but injury picked up at Leeds is not serious.
Hope is he is back in time for the North London Derby later this month.

And of course, that’s after Arsenal’s potential double in Gameweek 26. We’ll find out about that for sure after tonight’s EFL Cup semi-final: if the Gunners win out over Chelsea on aggregate, they’ll play twice in Gameweek 26.
Let’s see if Arteta gives us a Saka update of his own in the aftermath of that match at the Emirates – but we’re not holding our breath.
Once this evening’s tie has passed, and we know who doubles, we’ll look into some potential Saka replacements.
