Arsenal are currently facing an injury crisis in their attacking ranks but could soon receive a major boost. According to recent reports, Mikel Arteta hopes to have both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli available after the next international break.
The Daily Mirror suggests that both players could be back in action for Arsenal’s first match of April, a home clash with Fulham on April 1. Their return would be a welcome development for the Gunners, who have been without key players like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus due to long-term injuries.
Martinelli sustained his injury during the Carabao Cup semi-final loss to Newcastle United, but the extent of the injury was less severe than initially feared. He has been progressing well, even taking part in Arsenal’s warm-weather training camp in Dubai last month.
Saka, who had surgery on a hamstring tear in December, has been recovering steadily and was recently seen working out in the gym. The initial plan was for him to resume training by the end of February and be available for selection in March.
