Saka ‘Ready To Go’ For Arsenal After Long Injury Lay-off —Arteta

Date:

Bukayo Saka is “ready to go” for Arsenal after three months out with a hamstring injury, manager Mikel Arteta said yesterday.

The England forward, 23, who has scored nine goals in all competitions for the club this season, has not featured since Arsenal’s 5-1 win at Crystal Palace on December 21.

“Bukayo is ready to go”, Arteta said on the eve of Tuesday’s match against Fulham.

“All the careful things are already done so now it’s about putting him on the grass in the right moments. But he’s pushing because he really wants to.

“We have respected the timeframe and we have done everything and we had to hold him back, even. He is ready to go”.

Asked whether Saka, who had hamstring surgery in December, could start against eighth-place Fulham at the Emirates, the Arsenal boss replied: “Yeah, yeah”.

Arteta added: “Bukayo is a massive weapon. We know the impact that he has had in the team and how important his role and his contribution is to our success. It’s great to have him back
