Introduction: Arsenal’s key players, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, could return to action soon after being sidelined for a significant period due to injuries.
Injury Status of Both Players: Both players have been absent from Arsenal’s lineup for some time. Bukayo Saka suffered a muscle injury that required surgery just before Christmas in 2024. Meanwhile, Gabriel Martinelli sustained an injury during the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle United. According to The Mirror, both players could return to the squad by April or May.
Arsenal Facing Injury Crisis: Besides Saka and Martinelli, Arsenal is also dealing with injuries to key players such as Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus. The absence of these key figures has led Mikel Arteta to rely on Raheem Sterling, Leandro Trossard, and Ethan Nwaneri as replacements.
Positive Impact of Their Return: Arsenal urgently needs Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli back to continue competing for the Premier League title this season. Currently, Arsenal trails league leaders Liverpool by seven points, with 13 matches remaining in the season.
