Saka Shines On Return As Arsenal Secure Victory Despite Injury Concerns.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta saw Bukayo Saka mark his long-awaited return with a goal in their 2-1 win over Fulham, but the victory was overshadowed by fresh injury concerns ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.
Brazilian defender Gabriel limped off in the first half with a hamstring injury, adding to Arsenal’s growing list of absentees. His setback comes as the Gunners have already lost Kai Havertz for the season to a similar issue.
Jurrien Timber also had to be withdrawn with a knee problem, while Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori were unavailable for the match due to injuries.
Despite these challenges, Arteta will take encouragement from Saka’s return to form, as Arsenal continue their push for silverware on multiple fronts.
