Arsenal starboy Saka makes comeback in Fulham clash

At the end of December, the London side reported an injury to their winger, who required surgery on a hamstring issue. At that time, there were fears that he could miss the rest of the season.

Fortunately for the Gunners, and after losing all their strikers, Bukayo Saka made his return to action on Tuesday. As a substitute, he came on in the second half against Fulham.

Saka is the standout player in Mikel Arteta's squad. Although he won't be fully fit for the first leg against Real Madrid in the Champions League, he will be available for the Spanish manager.

Moreover, his return will reshuffle Arsenal's attacking positions, with Mikel Merino having had to play as an improvised No.9. Initially, Saka will play on the right, with Martinelli potentially occupying the centre of attack.
