Arsenal fans have received some positive news ahead of their highly anticipated match against Chelsea after the international break. Star player Bukayo Saka could potentially be back in action for the Gunners, according to The Standard.

Currently sitting in an impressive second position on the Premier League table with 20 points, Arsenal has been enjoying a successful start to their 2023/24 campaign. In their most recent game, they secured a hard-fought victory against Manchester City with a 1-0 scoreline.

Looking ahead, Arsenal’s next challenge will be facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, 21st October.

Saka has been an instrumental figure for Arsenal this season, having already scored four goals and provided two assists. His absence due to injury would undoubtedly be felt by both his teammates and fans alike. However, there is hope that he will return to full fitness during his time at London Colney this week as he works on his rehabilitation.

Like the rest of his Arsenal teammates who are not involved in international duty, Saka is expected to have the weekend off. This additional time for recovery and preparation could prove crucial in ensuring his availability for the highly anticipated clash against Chelsea.

As Arsenal aims to maintain their strong position in the league table and continue their impressive form, having Bukayo Saka back in action would undoubtedly provide a significant boost. Fans eagerly await further updates on his progress and remain hopeful that he will be fit and ready to make an impact against Chelsea after the international break.
