WHAT ARSENAL SAID

<p>Saka's absence has been keenly felt by Arsenal over the past two months, with Mikel Arteta's men struggling to replicate his goals and assists. <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-fc-bukayo-saka-injury-update-b1210204.html" target="_blank">Reports suggest</a> he could be ready to return in March as the Gunners try to win the Premier League and Champions League. Having him back would be a huge boost.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saka is with the Arsenal squad in Dubai and is continuing his rehab there. The fact that he was on crutches less than a month ago shows he is progressing nicely.</p>
