    LONDON — Arsenal’s dynamic winger Bukayo Saka is poised to make a comeback from an extensive injury hiatus as the Gunners gear up to face Fulham in the Premier League on Tuesday.

    The Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, confirmed on Monday that “Bukayo is ready to go” and hinted at the possibility of him being in the starting lineup. Saka has been sidelined since December due to a hamstring tear that required surgical intervention.

    Throughout Saka’s absence, Arsenal has slipped to 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool, currently occupying second place. However, the timing of Saka’s return is crucial as Arteta’s squad prepares for a crucial clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, with the initial leg scheduled to take place at home next week.
