Arsenal set for major injury boost vs Fulham next week?

Arsenal could receive a major injury boost ahead of the Premier League derby against Fulham on April 1, according to journalist Charles Watts.

The Gunners returned to winning ways in the top-flight before the international break. They picked up a 1-0 win over Chelsea at the Emirates.

The club host the Cottagers next Tuesday and ahead of the game, Watts has said that Saka will be deemed fit enough to make the matchday squad.

He said: "There is growing hope at Arsenal that Bukayo Saka will be involved against Fulham next Tuesday night.

"He has been stepping up his work with the ball during the international break & the hope is he will be deemed fit enough to be named in the squad."

Saka has not played for the Gunners since late December when he picked up a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace.

It was initially predicted that the Englishman would return at the beginning of March. His recovery has taken more time.

Arsenal are likely to hand his return with extra caution and he may feature off the bench before starting games again.
