Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has been spotted back in training with the squad after suffering an injury against Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

The 21-year-old was forced off in the first half on Sunday through injury, a sight which worried not only Arsenal fans, but England ones so close to the World Cup.

The winger has been one of the best in his position in the league so far this season. Pundit Danny Murphy has described him this campaign as ‘relentless’.

In 12 appearances in the Premier League, the Englishman has scored four goals and assisted five more.

His return to training could see him in line for a return at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Gunners will first have a Europa League match against FC Zurich to deal with on Thursday night.

Saka back for Arsenal

Similarly to Chelsea, Mikel Arteta’s side are already through to the knockout stage of their respective European group. However, they still need a result tomorrow night to secure their place in the next round as group winners.

This may see them put out a fairly strong team to get the job done early, before turning their attentions to the short trip across London on Sunday.

Blues fans will be hoping that they see plenty of rotation of their own tonight, when they welcome Dinamo Zagreb to the Bridge for the final Champions League group game.

However, Graham Potter has already warned that there will not be a showcase of the youth that the club has to choose from tonight, with the likes of Lewis Hall already confirmed not to be in action.

Nevertheless, the Blues will need to be at their best in order to hold off table-topping Arsenal, with their own personal battle for Champions League football coming to the front.
