Arteta believes Bukayo Saka could return from injury just in time to face Manchester City.

Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is optimistic about Bukayo Saka’s availability for the upcoming match against Manchester City on September 21. Saka has been out with a hamstring injury sustained during the Premier League game against Leeds United on August 23.

Despite initial concerns, the prognosis looks promising, and Saka might be fit for the big game against Manchester City.

Saka’s absence has been felt, with Arsenal losing 1-0 to Liverpool in his absence. His return would be a significant boost for the team, especially with the attacking depth provided by summer signings Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze. Saka’s ability to stretch defences and produce match-winning moments would be crucial in the title race.

While Arsenal will play without Saka against Nottingham Forest tomorrow and in the Champions League opener against Athletic Club in Spain on Tuesday, his presence would be vital against Manchester City.
