Arteta reveals when Saka will play again for Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed when Bukayo Saka is expected to return to action for the Gunners.

Arteta spoke after Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Saka has been sidelined for the past 11 weeks with a hamstring injury, missing several matches for Arteta’s side, including the latest draw at Old Trafford.

When asked about Saka’s return, Arteta said in his post-match interview: “After the international break, let’s see where he is. He feels really good.

“He’s really willing. We are positive that he will be back within a few weeks.”

Meanwhile, goals from Bruno Fernandes and Declan Rice ensured both Manchester United and Arsenal shared the points.

The result leaves Arsenal second in the Premier League table, 15 points behind leaders Liverpool.

Arsenal’s next fixture is against PSV in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie in midweek.

The north London club won the first leg 7-1 last week.
