Arsenal await Saka's fitness ahead of Real Madrid clash

Arsenal fans are eagerly awaiting the return of star Bukayo Saka to the squad ahead of the crucial Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid, scheduled for April 8, after he fully recovers from his injury. Saka has been out of action since December due to a serious hamstring injury that required surgery, leading to his extended absence. According to the British newspaper, The Mirror, the young player is working hard to return in time for this important match, and his participation represents a major morale boost for manager Mikel Arteta's European ambitions. Arsenal hopes Saka will make good progress in the coming days, and he could be on the bench against Fulham on April 1st, gradually incorporating him into the squad before facing Real Madrid. The team's match against Everton on April 5th could also be another test of his fitness. Reports indicated that Arsenal were keen to have Saka back in training after the international break so he could complete the final stages of his rehabilitation. If all goes according to plan, he could be available to participate in one of the most important matches of the season against Real Madrid, either at the Emirates Stadium or in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu.
