As Arsenal gear up for a crucial Premier League clash against Fulham tonight, all eyes will be on the fitness of winger Bukayo Saka. The England international underwent surgery to deal with a hamstring injury he sustained during Arsenal’s Premier League victory over Crystal Palace on 21 December. The setback sidelined him for nearly 3 months during a crucial stretch of the season.

Before that injury setback, the 22-year-old had scored an impressive nine goals and contributed 10 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions. The Gunners, still mathematically in the title race, will be pushing for every available point in the final stretch of the season. A win will see Arsenal cut Liverpool’s lead at the top to nine points, putting added pressure on the Reds before their Merseyside derby clash tomorrow.

Fulham, meanwhile, are coming on the back off a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarterfinals and will be desperate to bounce back.

Will Bukayo Saka Play Tonight?

Bukayo Saka is fully fit and raring to go. It is highly likely that the winger will feature today in the match against Fulham. Mikel Arteta confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Saka is in contention to start for Arsenal. Saka also took part in a behind-closed-doors friendly last week for Arsenal.

“Bukayo is ready to go,” Arteta said. “The careful thing is already done. So now it’s about putting him in the grass in the right moments. But he’s pushing because he really wants it. We have respected the time frame, we have done everything and we have to hold him back even.”

Saka is a vital part of Arsenal’s attack and he has been integral to their campaign so far. His energy and creativity have made him one of the most indispensable players in the Arsenal team. With his return to full fitness, Saka will be looking to push the Gunners through the business end of the season.

Arsenal have booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals and are set to welcome Real Madrid to the Emirates for the first leg of their tie on April 8. The return of Bukayo Saka comes at a crucial time for Mikel Arteta with both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to long-term injuries.
