The England international has been out for almost three months, since December last year. His return will be a huge boost for the Gunners. Although, his side are likely to miss out on the Premier League title this year too. They are currently 12 points behind the table toppers Liverpool.
The north London side will be getting ready to face Real Madrid in the UCL quarter-finals in April. The English winger will be given few minutes in the games against Fulham and Everton before they play Madrid.
Head coach Mikel Arteta will be careful about his winger’s playing time. But they need him to get some ground before the ultimate test in the UCL. The first tie of the last eight of the Champions League will be at the Emirates Stadium. So, the reverse fixture will be played at the Bernabeu.
Mikel Arteta to Saka against Real?
As far as the Arsenal’s attacking situation is concerned, the 23-years-old forward’s return is surely a good sign. Without him, they have found it difficult to create more chances in the front. He contributes with both, goals and creates key chances for the team.
The coming next few days will be vital for the Gunners. They will be making sure that Bukayo is fully fit for the big occasion. Therefore, he will need some minutes to assess his fitness.
The London side will not be in a hurry to force his return to football. It will be interesting to see how they handle his situation and when we will eventually get to see him back on the field.
