"The Gunners have been without Saka in the last few games due to a hamstring injury, though Noni Madueke has been superb in his absence, so he's not been missed too much. Still, Saka is one of the finest attacking players in Europe on his day, and Arsenal won't want to be without him for too long, especially when a big team like Man City are coming to the Emirates Stadium."
"Players in this situation are generally going to slot back in and train two or three times before they are available for selection, Smith said. Not just the manager but the medical team will want to make sure they have been gradually exposed to all aspects of training. My understanding is that he did at least the first 15 minutes of training session on Monday before they went off (to Spain for the Champions League game)."
Bukayo Saka has been out with a hamstring injury but may return for Arsenal's upcoming match against Manchester City. Noni Madueke performed strongly during Saka's absence, reducing the immediate impact of the injury. Kitman Labs CEO Stephen Smith outlined a typical gradual return-to-play timeline, noting players often train two or three times before selection and should be exposed progressively to all training aspects. Saka reportedly completed at least the first 15 minutes of a session, fitting a grade 2 hamstring recovery timeline. Arsenal's medical staff and manager appear to be targeting a cautious return for the City game.
