Arsenal’s dynamic winger, Bukayo Saka, has been sidelined since December following a hamstring tear. Initially expected to be out until March, the club recently sparked hope among fans with images of Saka working out in a gym in Dubai.

Arsenal are hopeful of a double injury boost well before the end of the season, by having both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli back in the fold for the run-in.

Havertz tore his hamstring when blocking a shot in training in Dubai and Arsenal have confirmed he will not return until next season. The striker has confirmed he underwent a successful operation on Saturday, as he targets a return to fitness in the summer.

Arsenal are hoping to have both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli back from injury after the next international break.

Saka has stepped up his recovery in recent days, but a report from The Sun claims he’s ‘set to miss a further eight weeks’ in a ‘devastating blow’ for Arsenal, who have also learned the ‘extent’ of Martinelli’s ‘injury’.
