Overview

• BBC reporting via Sami Mokbel says Saka has returned to full first‑team training and could be named in today’s matchday squad.
• The winger was spotted with the Arsenal group before the match, with a late call on his involvement expected.
• If included, Saka is not expected to start and is more likely to feature as an impact substitute, with Noni Madueke a probable starter on the right.
• Max Dowman started for the under‑21s on Saturday, a move interpreted as freeing a first‑team bench slot for a senior attacker.
• Saka’s August hamstring injury carried a three‑to‑four week timeline, and analysts urge caution to avoid rushing his return.
