Bukayo Saka set to return for Arsenal after a month out injured in Premier League title boost

Yahoo Sports

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is set to return after a month out injured for the Premier League title contender’s home match against Newcastle on Saturday. The England international has missed Arsenal’s last five matches — containing three losses — because of an Achilles injury. “Bukayo is probably going to be in the squad,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Friday.

“So, good news. ” Arsenal is looking to bounce back from two straight league defeats — to Bournemouth and Manchester City — and from losing top spot to City. Saka is expected to be a starter for England at the World Cup.
