Bukayo Saka injured his hamstring in a Premier League match against Crystal Palace last December. The English forward has been out of the field since that injury. However, there is good news for the Arsenal camp, because Saka has returned to training again. Although he is not yet likely to play in the match, he has trained lightly with the team.
Saka also underwent surgery after the injury, and Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said at the time that it was not possible to specify a specific time for Saka to fully recover. However, Saka has now joined Arsenal's camp in Dubai, and was seen training in the gym on Monday. If everything goes well, Saka will return to the field in March. The possibility of his return is particularly important for Arsenal, because his role could be important in the knockout stages of the Champions League and important matches in the Premier League.
Arsenal were a bit disappointed when they lost to Newcastle United in the League Cup final last week. But now the prospect of Saka's return is a big relief for the team. Last season, Saka scored five goals and made 10 assists, playing a key role in Arsenal's attack before getting injured.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will play against Leicester City in the league next Saturday after an 11-day break. They are second in the league table with 50 points from 24 matches, and are 6 points behind Liverpool, who have played one less match. In addition, Arsenal have made it directly to the last 16 of the Champions League.
