Bukayo Saka has been out of action for Arsenal's recent games after sustaining an injury while playing for England. However, there is some good news for Gunners fans as club legend David Seaman has hinted that Saka's injury is not serious and there is a possibility of him returning for the upcoming match against Liverpool.
Saka's absence was felt in the team's last two matches, a surprising 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth and a narrow win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. With creative midfielder Martin Odegaard also unlikely to return in time for the Liverpool game, manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping for Saka's return to boost the team's attacking options.
During an interview, Arteta remained tight-lipped about Saka's fitness, but Seaman gave some insight into the player's recovery progress. The former Arsenal goalkeeper revealed that he saw Saka at the training ground with his boots on, which is a good sign. Although he was not wearing trainers, Seaman believes that Saka is undergoing one-to-one rehab and is hopeful that his injury is not too serious.
However, Saka's return is not the only concern for Arsenal as defender William Saliba is currently suspended and will not be available for the Liverpool match. This puts more pressure on the team, but Seaman sees it as an opportunity for players to step up and prove their worth.
Despite the challenges, Seaman believes that these are the type of games that truly test a team's strength and potential for the season. He also shared his thoughts on the team's lineup, highlighting the possibility of youngster Folarin Balogun starting in place of injured striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
In terms of defense, Seaman sees new signing Takehiro Tomiyasu playing at left-back, with Nuno Tavares as an option on the bench. He also believes that new signing Martin Odegaard will play a crucial role in the team's creativity, as well as the experienced duo of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey in midfield.
In conclusion, despite the challenges that Arsenal may face in their upcoming match against Liverpool, Seaman remains optimistic and believes that the team has enough strength and depth to secure a positive result. He emphasizes the importance of grinding out wins even when the team is not playing at their best, and hopes to see Arsenal come out victorious in this crucial match.
