Bukayo Saka Boosts Arsenal Ahead of Champions League Showdown with Real Madrid Arsenal have received a significant boost ahead of their highly anticipated Champions League clash against Real Madrid, with star winger Bukayo Saka hinting at a return from injury. Saka Nearing Comeback The 23-year-old England international has been sidelined for over three months after sustaining a hamstring injury during Arsenal's 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace in December. Following surgery and months of recovery, Saka recently shared a training photo on social media with the caption, "Hello again," signaling his readiness to return to action. His absence has coincided with a dip in Arsenal’s Premier League form, denting their title hopes. However, his return could be a timely boost as the Gunners prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. Arsenal’s Upcoming Fixtures Before the European showdown, Arsenal will return to Premier League action against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on April 1, followed by an away clash against Everton on April 5. The first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid is set for April 9. Manager Mikel Arteta remains optimistic, emphasizing the importance of the competition: "We have to value that and recognize it’s very difficult to do. Now we want to take the next step. It’s very difficult, but we are capable of doing it," Arteta told Football London. Can Arsenal Still Challenge for the Premier League Title? Arsenal's hopes of catching Liverpool in the title race have faded after recent setbacks. Before the international break, they had closed the gap, but two draws and a defeat left them 12 points behind with nine games remaining. With tough fixtures against Liverpool and Newcastle ahead, Arsenal would need a near-perfect run while hoping for a collapse from the league leaders to stay in contention. How Arsenal Can Overcome Real Madrid Club legend Thierry Henry has urged the team to "start believing" if they want to beat the reigning champions. Arsenal will need to be at their best against a Madrid side with vast experience in European knockout football. Saka's return, alongside a fully prepared squad, could be the key to securing a historic victory.
