Arsenal supporters are in suspense due to conflicting information about Bukayo Saka’s availability for the pivotal Premier League match against Liverpool this Sunday.
The talented winger has been out of action since he sustained a hamstring injury while playing for England in the UEFA Nations League against Greece earlier this month.
While some sources hint at a possible return, others indicate that he may not play in this significant match.
Is Saka fit for the clash with Liverpool? Insights from reports
Mikel Arteta has remained vague regarding Saka’s injury status, expressing after Arsenal’s victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League that Saka is “unlikely” to be available for the match against Liverpool.
Fans are wary, remembering instances where Arteta has minimized injury concerns only for crucial players to be sidelined, such as during last year’s game against Manchester City.
Nonetheless, internal sources at Arsenal seem hopeful that Saka’s condition is not as dire as first thought, and he could potentially be fit for the encounter with Liverpool, according to The Mirror.
Contrarily, another report from Football Insider posits that Saka is likely to be absent against Liverpool, suggesting slim chances for a return this weekend.
The medical staff at Arsenal is closely monitoring the 23-year-old, who has had a remarkable season with three goals and seven assists.
Given that Arsenal is in pursuit of Liverpool in the league standings, his absence could have significant repercussions.
Ultimately, fans of the Gunners may have to wait for the official lineup announcement to discover if Saka will participate in the match.
