Arsenal given Saka, Martinelli injury boost

Arsenal are expecting Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli to be fit to return from injuries after the March international break.

Both players are on the sidelines with hamstring injuries.

Saka has been out since before Christmas, after suffering a serious muscle tear that required surgery.

Martinelli picked up an issue during the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Newcastle.

However, The Mirror reports that both players could feature in the run-in in April and May.

Injuries to Saka, Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have left Mikel Arteta’s side incredibly short in attack.

Raheem Sterling, Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri are the only recognised senior forward players in the squad.

During their 2-0 win at Leicester City last weekend, Arteta used Mikel Merino as an emergency centre-forward.

Merino came off the bench to score a match-winning brace at the King Power Stadium.
