Bukayo Saka is back in the Arsenal squad for Tuesday's game against Fulham, ending a three-month spell on the sidelines.

Saka could start tonight, play 60 minutes, and then come off the bench on Saturday. Or have a second-half run out against Fulham before starting against Everton three days before the quarter-final first leg. He could also sit out tonight’s game entirely, though that seems the least plausible option given Arteta’s pre-match comments.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta resisted the urge to start the returning Bukayo Saka against Fulham on Tuesday night, instead naming the fit-again winger on the bench. Saka had sat out Arsenal's previous 12 Premier League fixtures with a torn hamstring.
