Bukayo Saka missed England’s games during the international break

Mikel Arteta has hinted Bukayo Saka has recovered from injury and will feature against Nottingham Forest.

The England winger missed last week’s Nations League fixtures following the injury he picked up during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea prior to the international break.

Arteta’s side face highflying Forest on Saturday knowing they can ill-afford to drop any more points in the Premier League title race.

Arsenal’s season has been blighted to a spate of injuries but are delighted to welcome back captain Martin Odegaard who successfully came through his return game at Stamford Bridge before being rested by Norway.

Declan Rice, who played through the pain barrier against Chelsea, also missed the final two matches of interim Three Lions manager Lee Carsley’s brief tenure.
