Good news for Arsenal supporters. It's been reported that Bukayo Saka is now preparing for his return after being sidelined since December. Pictures of the England international having personal training surfaced the internet today and one of them is the one attached to this post which showed the scar of his surgery. Since he's started training, it seems he might return to playing for the Gunners before the predicted time and that I think will serve as a major boost to Arsenal's quest to catch up with league leaders Liverpool in the league standings

Arsenal shouldn't be in haste to bring back Saka, the young man still needs time to recover, throughout the better part of last year, they used him and that was what really increased his injury risk, because I feel Arsenal didn't respect that first time the injury was coming, they still had to risk him by forcing him to play all those games. Looking at this picture alone, you could see the level of muscle tear he had, if a player is complaining of an injury in the first time, the best thing to do is to allow him heal properly before bringing him back to the squad, if not the injury will become wear and tear.

Bukayo Saka is an important player for Arsenal, losing him for a few months is certainly a big blow for Arsenal, and many fans miss Saka. because he is a very good player and many are sad about his injury. Playing Bukayo Saka at this time is not the right choice, usually players who have just recovered from injury need time and process to be able to return to the Line up because the risk of injury again is very open.

So it's better if he plays it gradually starting from the bench. However, it seems that Arteta understands this situation, he certainly doesn't want to take too big a risk by playing Bukayo Saka too quickly, especially in the next two matches Arsenal will face easy opponents so that even without Bukayo Saka Arsenal can win the match. Besides that, I am also sure that Mikel Arteta will give his best to Bukayo Saka to use his injury recovery period as an opportunity to return to being a better person and his performance will improve again soon, of course this requires a moment to play Bukayo Saka.
