Bukayo Saka’s Recovery Plan Ahead of Real Madrid Clash

Over the international break, Bukayo Saka will be increasing his efforts as he tries to come back fit and firing for Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid next month.

Now in the vital last stage of his hamstring injury recuperation, the winger has been sidelined since December. Over the next few weeks, he will participate in lengthier and more rigorous one-on-one fitness sessions; he will also start working with the ball and training alongside his team-mates.

Last Friday Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remarked, “He’s getting closer, he’s stepping up and making a very good progress I would say.” “So, let’s see when we start to throw him in with the team, how he reacts and how fit he can get rapidly.”

Given Arsenal will be playing Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on April 8, Saka is eager to come back. The Gunners play Fulham and Everton the week before that game, hoping to give Saka minutes in his legs before Real Madrid visits.

Although Saka’s exact date of return is yet unknown, much will rely on his development during the latter stage of his recuperation. Given Arsenal will be playing Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on April 8, Saka is eager to come back.
