There is an outside chance Bukayo Saka could return for Arsenal against Newcastle United on Saturday, but for now it appears more likely that his comeback will come a few days later.
Saka has missed Arsenal’s last four games with an Achilles problem, and there has been little concrete information from the club on his condition, with Mikel Arteta keeping his updates deliberately vague.
This week, a number of journalists have suggested Saka is closing in on a return. The i has gone as far as to say there is an “outside chance” he could be involved in the 5.30pm kick-off against Newcastle.
Even so, the more realistic target appears to be the first leg of Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final against on 29 April.
