Arsenal handed injury boost ahead of Real Madrid clash
One of the major missing in Arteta’a lineup has been Bukayo Saka. The 23 year old had a superb start to this career. He was the best Arsenal player with 9 goals and 13 assists in 24 games. But, he suffered a serious injury on 21st December and has not played ever since.
According to Mirror Football, Saka is likely to return on the pitch for the game against Real Madrid. This will come as a massive boost to Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal fans. Gunners will play 2 more games before Madrid clash and hence it will be important to see if Saka gets any minutes there.

Arsenal will like to take a solid lead against Real Madrid on their home. Los Blancos have minor issues in their back-line and the North London club will like to take advantage of that. If Saka does return in time, he will cause a lot of problems to Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
