'massive Weapon' Bukayo Saka A Big Boost For Arsenal Ahead Of Real Madrid Showdown

Bukayo Saka is 'ready to go' for Arsenal after three months out with a hamstring injury, manager Mikel Arteta said on Monday.

The England forward, 23, who has scored nine goals in all competitions for the club this season, has not featured since Arsenal's 5-1 win at Crystal Palace on December 21.

'Bukayo is ready to go,' Arteta said on the eve of Tuesday's match against Fulham.

'All the careful things are already done so now it's about putting him on the grass in the right moments. But he's pushing because he really wants to.

'We have respected the timeframe and we have done everything and we had to hold him back, even. He is ready to go.'
