Bukayo Saka has been out since he required hamstring surgery in December. The winger travelled with the Arsenal squad last month to Dubai, where he continued his recovery, and the Gunners expect Saka to be back on the pitch before the end of the season.

Mikel Arteta is hopeful Bukayo Saka will be ready to make his Arsenal comeback after the international break. The England international has been out of action after he sustained a serious hamstring injury against Crystal Palace in early December.

Mikel Arteta has ruled Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli out until April, meaning Arsenal will enter the Champions League last 16 without any of their first-choice front four. Saka has been missing since undergoing hamstring surgery in December and Martinelli has been absent since the start of February.
