Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided clarity on Bukayo Saka’s recovery process, dismissing reports that the winger has suffered a setback. Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures, Arteta reassured fans that Saka remains on track with his rehabilitation and there have been no unexpected delays in his return to action.

There had been speculation in recent days that Saka, who is recovering from a knee injury, had experienced complications that could further postpone his comeback. However, Arteta firmly denied these claims, stating that the England international is following the recovery plan laid out by the club’s medical team.

His comments will come as a relief to Arsenal fans, who are eager to see one of their most influential players back on the pitch as the team pushes for the Premier League title.

Saka has been sidelined since early February and was initially expected to return in March. While Arteta did not provide an exact date for his comeback, the manager’s reassurances suggest that the timeline remains the same. Arsenal have been managing without their star winger, with players like Raheem Sterling and Leandro Trossard stepping up in his absence.

With crucial fixtures ahead, including a return to Champions League action and key Premier League matches, Arsenal will be hoping that Saka’s recovery continues smoothly. Arteta’s update should help ease concerns, as the Gunners look to maintain their momentum in the title race.

For now, Arsenal fans will have to remain patient, but Arteta’s confirmation that there have been no setbacks is an encouraging sign that Saka will be back sooner rather than later.
