Arsenal injury and updates as Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz all have been in the news in the recent weeks.
Injury News: Key updates on Arsenal players
Mikel Arteta will be expecting few key injury updates. As they get ready to face Fulham in the Premier League. Their issues have not taken a break this season in particular.
However, with some coming back players every week, it appears recovering players will no longer be a rare sight. Ben White and Gabriel Martinelli were both back in the fold prior to the international break. They both missed the last few months.
Bukayo Saka should also make his return shortly. Two matches are left for their big Champions League quarterfinal match against Real Madrid. The fans want to see Saka get on the pitch with White and Martinelli.
The news isn’t all good because Riccardo Calafiori suffered from a knee injury. He was taken off while playing for Italy. That raises even more worries about some of **the Gunners**‘ squad depth. The Italian defender has not had the best start to his Arsenal career since joining in the summer. That also saw him miss time with a few injuries.
It seems he will miss a few games now. Football London has made a report on the injuries. They have also added expected returns dates.
Saka will return from his injury during April. That will three months from the time he was out. That would likely make him available for game against Fulham.
Other players’ updates
Riccardo Calafiori sustained a blow to his knee. He was sent back to north London early from his Italy duties. He awkwardly fell on his knee. The national team’s medical staff said he would be unavailable for the Nations League match against Germany.

It is now in question whether he can play against Real Madrid. As reports out of Italy have since suggested he will be out for few weeks. His possible date of return will be around mid-April.
Havertz will miss the rest of the season. He tore his hamstring in Arsenal’s warm weather training camp abroad. He will be out for at least until June or July 2025.
Gabriel Jesus got a ACL injury. Jesus needed an operation to heal the injury to his ACL. He will be back in October or November 2025.
Tomiyasu also had surgery on his leg. And the Japan international is expected to be out for an extended period as well. His possible return date will be near late 2025.
