Will Bukayo Saka play against Nottingham Forest?

In today’s injury news from Arsenal – We will assess Bukayo Saka’s fitness levels ahead of the upcoming Premier League game against Nottingham Forest.

Bukayo Saka seems to be ever-present on Arsenal’s injury scare list. This is due to the nature of his game and attracts harsh treatment from other players.

Before the international break, Bukayo Saka was left out of the game early against Chelsea. He was seen limping off the field.

Then Bukayo Saka made himself unavailable for selection for England during the international break in November. Given that he is proud to represent the country, this has raised alarm bells for Arsenal fans.

According to Sami Mokbel from the Daily Mail, Bukayo Saka had a thigh problem throughout the November internationals.

This thigh problem saw Bukayo Saka sideline Chelsea before the international break and subsequently missed both of England’s games during the break.

Bukayo Saka has successfully returned from injury. According to Mikel Arteta, Bukayo Saka was in training for Arsenal today (Friday, November 22), without any problems.

In his own wordsMikel Arteta said: “Bukayo and Declan also very well, they had partial session.”

We can only assume this means Bukayo Saka will be available for Arsenal for the Nottingham Forest game.

Bukayo Saka could face Liverpool this weekend. He has returned to training, which means he is fit enough to start.

But with the midweek Champions League game on the back of Mikel Arteta’s mind, he may or may not decide to rest Saka. Time will tell.

If Saka is further rested against Nottingham Forest, then Gabriel Jesus is capable of taking his place on the right wing, as is Raheem Sterling.

We would be remiss to ignore the fact that Mikel Arteta said “partial training”. So whether Saka is up to full combat speed remains to be seen.

Yes, Bukayo Saka has been training for Arsenal so he is ready to start this weekend against Nottingham Forest.

Bukayo Saka is an excellent option for your Fantasy Football team. As it stands, he has the most helps by any Premier League player so far this season (7).

We’ve already named our predicted Arsenal line-up against Nottingham Forest. Not surprisingly, we have named Bukayo Saka – After all, we have seen this race against the aisles many times.
