UCL: Saka back to training ahead of Real Madrid showdown
Arsenal star man Bukayo Saka, has officially returned to training.
Saka shared the news with fans through an Instagram post captioned “Hello again”.
The 23-year-old winger had been sidelined since December 2024 after suffering a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace, which required surgery.
His comeback comes at a crucial time for Mikel Arteta’s side, as they prepare for their UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid. The first leg is set for 8 April 2025, and the player’s return provides a major boost to Arsenal’s hopes of progressing in the competition.
Arteta had previously hinted at his potential return after the international break, emphasising the importance of the recovery process in shaping him both as a player and as a person. The manager will now assess whether the winger is ready to start or if he will be eased back into action gradually.
With Saka back in the squad, Arsenal will look to maximise their attacking options against the reigning European champions.
