A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the news that the club confirmed on their official website concerning Bukayo Saka.

Saka’s injury at the weekend was somewhat overshadowed by Nicolas Pepe’s red card. But Gunners supporters would have been forgiven for thinking that Saka coming off was the bigger blow.

The 19-year-old has been outstanding during his time in the first-team. So supporters would have been desperately hoping for some positive news.

And it appears that it is good news regarding Saka. The club have announced on their official website that Saka sustained a dead leg.

And while they confirmed that he is not with squad for Thursday’s clash with Molde, it is claimed that he will be available to face Wolves at the weekend.

Admittedly, it should be noted that Mikel Arteta has hinted that it could take Saka slightly longer to return with a decision set to be made on Sunday (via Football London).

Unsurprisingly, plenty of Arsenal supporters are delighted with the prospect of Saka returning shortly. Obviously, it would be fantastic if he had travelled to Norway.

‘Great news’

But with the Gunners on the cusp of qualifying for the Europa League knockout stages anyway, few have many complaints with him being set to be back for the weekend.

Pepe is obviously suspended. And there are concerns over Willian’s fitness after he was also taken off at Elland Road on Sunday. So seeing that Saka may be in line for a swift return is a very welcome boost.

Here is how some of the fans reacted to the club’s update on Saka…
