Arsenal’s Winger Buka Yosaka is reportedly likely to return to Manchester City for this weekend’s big game in the Premier League.
The gunner was not without Saka in the last few games due to a hamstring injury, but he is not overlooked much as Noni Madue is great in his absence.
Still, Saka was one of Europe’s greatest offensive players of the time, and Arsenal wouldn’t want to be long without him, especially when a big team like Man City is coming to Emirates Stadium.
One injury expert appears to be sure Arsenal was working to get Saka back to this weekend’s match.
Will Bukayosaka be able to return from injury in time for Arsenal’s match against Manchester City?
Stephen Smith, CEO and founder of Kitman Labs, spoke to Metro and explained why it appears that Saka is doing behind the scenes to return to full fitness in time for a visit to the city.
“Players in this situation generally plan to train two or three times before they can make a choice,” Smith said.
“You’d want to make sure that not only the manager, but the medical team is gradually exposed to all aspects of training. My understanding is that I have had my first 15-minute training session on at least Monday (to Spain for a Champions League match).
“That’s very normal for what we see in terms of gradually coming back as we’re talking about here.”
He added: “It’s probably pretty much correct as it’s held within the timeline of Grade 2 hamstring stocks. So it’s going to be very good to see if they’re targeting or at least he can have any kind of involvement in the city’s games.”
As Smith’s company specializes in injury welfare and performance analysis, his insights could help Arsenal fans assess how likely it is that Saka could return to the team by Sunday afternoon.
