Bukayo Saka makes Arsenal return: Winger on bench vs Fulham

Bukayo Saka is back in the Arsenal squad for Tuesday's game against Fulham, ending a three-month spell on the sidelines.

Saka, 23, hasn't featured for Arsenal since injuring his hamstring at Crystal Palace just before Christmas, with the England star forced into surgery and a rehabilitation programme.

But Mikel Arteta -- after talking up his comeback in the pre-match news conference -- has named Saka on the substitutes' bench for the visit of Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

Saka is on a bench that includes Raheem Sterling and Leandro Trossard, with Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Martinelli selected as the starting wingers.
