Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka is fit and available for selection ahead of Tuesday’s Premier League clash against Fulham.
Saka has been sidelined since December after sustaining a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace. However, the England international has returned to training and is now ready to play.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Arteta stated, “Bukayo is ready to go.
“The careful thing is already done, so now it’s about putting him on the grass in the right moments, but he is pushing because he really wants it.
“We have respected the time-frame, we have done everything, we had to hold him back, so now he is ready to go.”
When asked if Saka could start against Fulham, Arteta responded, “Yeah, yeah.
“He is another massive weapon. We know the impact he has had on the team and how important his role and his contribution is to our success, so great to have him back,” he added.
