Arsenal’s young star has resumed training with the squad and could be in contention for next weekend’s clash against Manchester City. The forward missed the Gunners’ last three matches in all competitions (Liverpool, Nottingham, Athletic Club) due to an Achilles tendon injury sustained during the 5-0 Premier League win over Leeds on August 23.
Saka could be back in the squad for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City visit to the Emirates Stadium. An early return would be a massive boost for Mikel Arteta’s side as they aim for a third consecutive victory following wins over Nottingham and Athletic.

The report also states that Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has stepped up his training ahead of the City match, although early indications remain doubtful about the Norwegian midfielder’s availability. He was substituted during last weekend’s 3-0 win over Forest after picking up a shoulder issue.
Saka had started the 2025–26 season strongly with Arsenal, scoring in the win over Leeds before being forced off with his injury. The winger also missed England’s first two World Cup qualifying matches earlier this month against Andorra and Serbia.
