Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus latest news and return dates - Arsenal remain without key players in attack

Talismanic Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is still "a few weeks" away from a return to action, according to head coach Mikel Arteta.

Mikel Arteta has ruled Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli out until April, meaning Arsenal will enter the Champions League last 16 without any of their first-choice front four. Saka has been missing since undergoing hamstring surgery in December and Martinelli has been absent since the start of February.

The Gunners are almost guaranteed to be in the quarter-final, where they will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, after convincedly defeating PSV in the Netherlands. Jurrien Timber, Ethan Nwaneri, Mikel Merino, Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori were all on the scoresheet in the emphatic display.

Mikel Arteta’s squad has been hampered by injuries to key players, and the latest updates will do little to lift spirits at the Emirates. With both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli sidelined, Arsenal’s attacking options are looking increasingly stretched ahead of their crucial round of 16 ties.

Mikel Arteta is hopeful Bukayo Saka will be ready to make his Arsenal comeback after the international break. The England international has been out of action after he sustained a serious hamstring injury against Crystal Palace in early December.
