Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed the timeline for star forward Bukayo Saka return following his hamstring injury and surgery in December.
Hopes that Saka might make an early comeback to help offset the absence of Kai Havertz have been dashed, with fresh details emerging about his recovery process. Arsenal, currently seven points behind the Premier League leaders with 14 games remaining, are rapidly running out of attacking options.
Arteta confirmed ahead of the Leicester City clash that Saka has not suffered any injury setback in his recovery.
Saka suffered the first major injury of his career against Crystal Palace on December 21 and has been gradually stepping up his rehabilitation. The England international was seen pitchside and moving unaided after Arsenal’s 5-1 victory over Manchester City, fueling optimism about his potential return.
