Bukayo Saka - Page 5 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Appears off bench in PL game Saka took one shot (zero on target) and created a scoring chance in nine minutes as a substitute during Saturday's 1-0 win over Newcastle.

Impact Saka has bounced back from an Achilles issue that forced him to miss over a month of action, and he's now fit for extended outings in the decisive weeks of the season. The star attacker replaced Noni Madueke on the right wing in the weekend's match and could return to the starting lineup in the midweek UCL trip to Atletico Madrid. While he might not be in top shape, Saka is one of his side's top threats after scoring eight goals and five assists over 38 appearances across all competitions in 2025/26.

'We expect him to produce' - Mikel Arteta urges Bukayo Saka to deliver for Arsenal in title run-in as he makes injury return

Returns to bench Saka (achilles) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Saka has been included in the squad after missing each of Arsenal's last five matches across all competitions, with the coaching staff opting for a cautious approach by easing their star winger back via the bench despite the must-win nature of the fixture. His return to the starting lineup is expected to follow imminently once manager Arteta is satisfied the Achilles issue poses no further risk.

Impact Saka is set to return after missing each of Arsenal's last five matches across all competitions due to an Achilles problem, and the star winger could return to the XI right away in a must-win match for the Gunners. Saka hasn't scored a goal since March 4 in a 1-0 win at Brighton, and while he remains one of the most talented wingers in the Premier League, his production hasn't matched that status. He has six goals and three assists across 27 EPL appearances (22 starts) this term.

Impact Saka is not going to be with his club as they face City on Sunday, out for a massive match that could decide if they win the league. This will mark a fifth straight game missed, as he is still working through his rehabilitation. The club is likely making sure he comes back fully fit with the winger having a World Cup campaign with England ahead, although they need to have their star player back as they try to close out on the two titles they have a chance at, now with a major hole to face City.

Missing from team sheet Saka (achilles) is out for Wednesday's match against Sporting.

Impact Saka is one of the numerous key players missing for Arsenal Wednesday, hoping it is still enough to keep their lead in the tie. Unfortunately for Saka, this puts him in a tough spot, as he will need to use the next few days to recover for the massive match against City. He is replaced by Noni Madueke Wednesday, who will likely continue in that role until Saka is fit again.

Impact Saka looks to be a major doubt for the return leg of their quarterfinal against Sporting, as the attacker is still dealing with his injury. With the club leading the tie and still having league and UCL title prospects, it is clear they do not want to risk him too early, especially when he is expected to be a star for England at the World Cup this summer. Most signs lean to him missing another match, potentially earning a bench spot, but unlikely to see anytime unless the club is in dire need of him. More importantly, they will need him fit for their massive tilt with City over the weekend, as this is a match that could decide the Premier League Title.

Impact Saka has now missed three consecutive fixtures across all competitions with an undisclosed issue, and his continued absence from training is a significant concern for Arsenal heading into the most decisive European night of their season. The English winger is the Gunners' most dangerous attacking weapon and losing him for the second leg would be a major blow for coach Mikel Arteta's side. Noni Madueke is expected to see a larger role in his continued absence, with the club hoping to have clarity on Saka's status before Wednesday's kickoff.

Out to face Bournemouth Saka (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.

Impact Saka has been unable to recover from the undisclosed issue that had already kept him out of two matches, with manager Mikel Arteta confirming the situation had changed in the days leading up to the fixture. The attacker was absent from training Thursday, and Arsenal will have to cope without their top playmaker once again as they look to close in on the league title. His availability for the coming fixtures will be closely monitored, with the club unwilling to risk further injury at such a crucial stage of the season.

Unlikely for Saturday Saka (undisclosed) is doubtful for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "There have been changes since yesterday, yes."

Impact Saka was not in training Thursday and appears likely to continue his absence, as the attacker is doubtful for Saturday. He has already missed two games, so this is a rough loss for the club, needing to do without their top playmaker in the attack. If he does somehow find the team sheet, the club is likely to be cautious, not wanting to risk further injury to end the season as they try to close in on their league title.

Out another game Saka (undisclosed) has not traveled and is out for Tuesday's match against Sporting, according to manager Mikel Arteta, per Simon Collings of The Sun.

Impact Saka missed out on an FA Cup match over the weekend and will remain out for UCL play, not a part of the traveling squad for Lisbon. This is a major loss for the club as they will have to do without their star forward, leaving the right side of the field a bit weaker than usual, as Jurrien Timber (undisclosed) is also out. Noni Madueke is a possible option to take his spot on the right wing, the only other attacker to see time on the right this campaign.
