Mikel Arteta issues five-word Bukayo Saka injury update as Arsenal prepare for Premier League clash with Fulham

Bukayo Saka will make his return to action for the first time in more than three months when Arsenal welcome Fulham to the Emirates on Tuesday night, Mikel Arteta has confirmed.

The 23-year-old, who sustained a hamstring injury in December that required surgery, could even be given the nod from the start against the Cottagers.

Saka has been absent from the north London club's last 19 matches in all competitions, and has proven to be a hammer blow to their Premier League title hopes. Arsenal trail leaders Liverpool by 12 points and were knocked out of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup in the period Saka has been missing.
