There is no credible evidence that Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has expressed fear about facing any specific Real Madrid defender in the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals. Recent reports have instead focused on his recovery from a hamstring injury suffered in December 2024.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains optimistic about Saka’s availability, stating that the winger has a “good chance” of being fit for the crucial ties on April 8 and April 16. Saka has been undergoing intensive rehabilitation and is expected to resume full training soon, providing a major boost to Arsenal’s attacking lineup.
While Saka has previously spoken about the challenges of facing tough opponents, no verified statement has been made about him singling out a particular Real Madrid defender. With his return on the horizon, all eyes will be on how he influences Arsenal’s chances in this highly anticipated Champions League showdown.
