England fans will be pleased by Saka’s return to training

Bukayo Saka returns to training to the joy of England fans.

Arsenal have been in top form recently with

Bukayo Saka

being one of the main reasons for that. Hence naturally England and Arsenal fans were very worried when the winger was forced off the pitch in Arsenal’s victory over Nottingham Forest in the 27th minute, having earlier assisted Martinelli on Arsenal’s opener.

Now

Arsenal

’s manager Mikel Arteta have confirmed Saka’s return to training alongside his teammates, Mohamed Elneny and

Oleksandr Zinchenko

. The news comes as a relief to the England fans but especially the Gunners who have been a little thin on the squad depth this season.

"They are in different stages, obviously. Mo had a long-term injury but has recovered in a really good way and has been training with the team for a week or two," Arteta confirmed in his press conferenc.

"Oleks' [return] was very recent, and he trained in just two sessions, and Bukayo just missed one or two and was fine today."

Arteta stressed the delicacy of a situation like Saka’s against Forest:

"We're using our brains and our common sense, but obviously he had a kick and wasn't comfortable.

"We made a decision to get him off, and now he's feeling fine. We'll assess each individual as it comes.

"We had to make a decision and we couldn't delay a situation like that, because every minute that a player is not 100 per cent to play, it's costing the team. We have to make those decisions quickly."

Arteta was also asked about whether the officials offered enough protection for players like Saka who get fouled constantly.

"I'm sure the referees have looked at all the incidents, all the fouls, the number of fouls our front players are getting, and it's their job to manage that situation in the best possible way."
