Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta recently offered an update on Bukayo Saka's fitness as the team prepares for an important Premier League match against Liverpool. Saka, an influential player for the Gunners, has had a significant impact on Arsenal’s recent performances, and his potential availability could boost the team’s chances in the upcoming fixture.
During his pre-match press conference, Arteta shared that Saka has been able to engage in some light training on the field. However, he expressed uncertainty regarding the winger's readiness for Sunday’s game, stating, "He has done a bit of training on the grass... How far we can get him to Sunday, that’s a different question. We have another day, which is a good thing." This comment indicates that Saka’s participation against Liverpool remains undecided, though there is a possibility he could still be included in the lineup.
Arsenal will face Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, October 27, 2024, in a highly anticipated clash. The game holds particular significance as Arsenal seeks to reduce the gap with the Premier League leaders. With Saka’s presence potentially key to their success, Arteta and the team are hopeful that he can recover in time.
Saka sustained a hamstring injury earlier this month during England’s international fixture against Greece. The injury required him to leave the England camp and return to Arsenal for further medical evaluation. Since then, he has focused on his recovery, and Arsenal’s medical staff has closely monitored his progress to ensure no setbacks occur.
As a result of his injury, Saka has been absent for Arsenal’s last two matches. He missed the Premier League encounter with Bournemouth, in which Arsenal suffered a 2-0 loss, as well as the Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk, where Arsenal managed a narrow 1-0 victory. His absence has been noticeable, and fans are eager for his return to the pitch.
Arteta’s cautious comments highlight the uncertainty surrounding Saka’s fitness, though there remains hope that he may feature in Sunday’s crucial game against Liverpool. Arsenal supporters are eagerly awaiting news, hoping Saka can play a pivotal role in securing a vital win for the team.
