Arsenal fans have been handed a major boost as key players Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Thomas Partey are all set to return from injury.
Mikel Arteta, the Gunners’ manager, provided a crucial injury update ahead of the weekend’s fixtures.
In a press briefing, Arteta confirmed Saka’s recovery, assuring fans that his injury is not as serious as initially feared.
“We’re hopeful to have Saka, his injury is not serious,” Arteta stated, signaling the return of the young England star who has been pivotal in Arsenal’s campaign.
Arteta also revealed that Kai Havertz has a “good chance” of featuring in the next match if he progresses well in training. Thomas Partey is fully fit and ready to play, bolstering Arsenal’s midfield options.
Additionally, Gabriel Martinelli could be back in the lineup this weekend, depending on the final decision after today’s assessment.
Arteta remained optimistic, saying, “Gabriel Martinelli could return this weekend as we will decide today.”
The update also included positive news on defenders Ben White, Jurrien Timber, and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who are all close to making their return to the squad. Arteta emphasized that while Martin Ødegaard will not be available this weekend, the Norwegian playmaker should be back in action before the November international break.
With the return of these key players, Arsenal looks poised to strengthen their push for the top of the Premier League table in the coming weeks.
