MIKEL ARTETA OFFERS A PRECISE TIMELINE FOR BUKAYO SAKA’S RECOVERY FROM INJURYMikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, has disclosed the anticipated return date for star forward Bukayo Saka, who sustained a hamstring
injury and underwent surgery in December. Fresh information regarding Saka’s rehabilitation process has dispelled expectations that he would make an early return to compensate for Kai Havertz’s absence.
Currently, Arsenal is seven points behind the Premier League leaders with 14 games remaining, and they are rapidly exhausting their attacking options. Saka sustained his initial significant injury during a match against Crystal Palace on December 21, and his rehabilitation has been progressing at a gradual pace.
The England international was observed moving unassisted on the pitchside following Arsenal’s 5-1 victory over Manchester City, which has sparked optimism regarding his potential return.Saka was included in the squad that traveled to Dubai for a warm-weather training exercise, which fueled further speculation.
The surgical incision from the 23-year-old’s operation was visible in the images of him working out at the gym.”I am uncertain; we have a long-term injury; therefore, which option is more expeditious?” Three days is a significant amount in a 10-day injury, as it makes up 30% of the total. However, in three months, a week is likely not that much.
It is too early to determine his status; he is currently in the early stages of rehabilitation. However, we will determine his status when he begins to perform more strenuous activities and carries a heavier workload. “He is in good health; there is no setback.” CLICK HERE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRESENT.

Kai Havertz has been declared ineligible for the remainder of the season due to a comparable hamstring injury that he sustained during training in Dubai, further aggravating Arsenal’s injury concerns. The German international will necessitate surgery, similar to Saka.
Artery also left with limited attacking options until at least the end of the month, as Gabriel Martinelli remains incapacitated. Currently, the Arsenal manager has only Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard, and Raheem Sterling available to head the frontline in the upcoming weeks.
