Reports from Charles Watts indicate that there is a “growing hope” at Arsenal that star player Bukayo Saka can make a timely recovery from his injury to face Fulham next week.

Arsenal fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of their star winger, Bukayo Saka, and recent updates from Arsenal expert Charles Watts have provided a glimmer of hope. Speaking to CaughtOffside, Watts revealed that there is a “growing belief” within the Arsenal camp that Saka could be involved in their Premier League match against Fulham next Tuesday night.

Saka, who has been sidelined since December due to a hamstring injurľy, has been making steady progress in his recovery. During the international break, the England international has been stepping up his work with the ball, a positive sign that he is nearing full fitness. However, Arsenal is taking a cautious approach to his return, ensuring that he is fully ready before stepping back onto the pitch.

Watts emphasized that the decision regarding Saka’s involvement will be made late, based on his performance in training sessions leading up to the match. If all goes well, Saka could be included in the squad, which would be a significant boost for Arsenal as they prepare for a crucial run of fixtures. The Gunners are set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, and having Saka back in action would be a massive advantage.

Saka’s return would not only lift the spirits of Arsenal fans but also provide the team with a creative and attacking edge that has been sorely missed. With nine goals and 13 assists in just 24 appearances this season, Saka’s contributions have been pivotal to Arsenal’s success. His potential involvement against Fulham could also serve as a stepping stone to regaining match fitness ahead of the high-stakes Champions League clash.

As the countdown to Tuesday night continues, all eyes will be on the training ground to see if Saka’s progress remains on track. Arsenal supporters will be hoping for positive news, as the return of their beloved winger could reignite their hopes for success in both domestic and European competitions.
