Arteta discloses Saka, Martinelli return date

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli could make their return from injury when the Gunners take on Fulham on April 1. 

Their comeback would be a significant boost for Arsenal’s attack, which has struggled in recent weeks due to multiple injury setbacks.

Arteta remains optimistic about Saka and Martinelli’s recovery but emphasised that they will be gradually eased back into the squad.

The Spanish coach indicated that Martinelli could return before Saka but their availability will ultimately depend on how both wingers progress over the next 10 days.

He acknowledged the length of their absence and the importance of carefully managing their workload to prevent any setbacks. With Arsenal currently 13 points behind Liverpool, their return could be crucial for the title race.
