Arsenal pencil in Bukayo Saka return date after Gunners attacker returns to training after hamstring surgery

Premier League

Arsenal

Fulham

<p>The 23-year-old winger has been sidelined since December, after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bukayo-saka-injury-setback-arsenal-miss-further-two-months-hamstring-problem-reluctant-risk/blt33faab179712633b" target="_blank">suffering the injury</a> in the first half of Arsenal’s 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace. According to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cdrx17jgm40o" target="_blank"><em>BBC</em></a>, Arsenal are considering naming Saka in the squad for their Premier League match against Fulham next week. However, the club is proceeding cautiously with his reintegration into competitive matches and will make a final decision closer to the matchday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>If Saka's return follows the expected timeline, he is also likely to be fit for Arsenal’s crucial <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bukayo-saka-aiming-return-from-injury-arsenal-s-champions-league-real-madrid-riccardo-calafiori-to-lift-the-gunners/bltffa4aa3153775919" target="_blank">Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid</a> in April. Carlo Ancelotti's men will visit the Emirates on April 8 for the first leg, with the return set for the Santiago Bernabeu a week later.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saka had been in sensational form until he got injured, as he has notched up<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bukayo-saka-boost-arsenal-gunners-returns-training-hamstring-surgery-champions-league-tie-real-madrid/bltff22db6a6e797512#cse120ea6139ef1e4c" target="_blank"> five goals and 10 assists </a>in just 16 league appearances. He has also been instrumental in Arsenal’s Champions League campaign, scoring four goals and providing two assists before his injury.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As Saka edges closer to a return, Arsenal are also<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-make-massive-decision-on-bukayo-saka-s-future-winger-nears-long-awaited-return-injury/blt05c3a65430a18956#csbc81a3be71e3cb54" target="_blank"> looking to secure his long-term future</a> at the club. Saka’s current deal, signed in 2022, earns him a reported £10 million per season. However, his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027, and Arsenal are eager to tie him down to a longer deal. </p>
