Arsenal Sweating Over Fitness of Key Players Ahead of Clаsh with Manchester City. Arsenal is facing concerns over the fitness of three key players ahead of their crucial title clаsh against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel were all unavailable for international duty due to various injuries and remained at London Colney to focus on their recovery.

Bukayo Saka initially joined the England squad but had to withdrаw due to a minor muscle problem. The winger was dealing with muscle tightness, and the international break provided an opportunity for him to rest and recover for the demanding final months of the season.

During his press conference, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on the players, stating that there is a chance they could be available for the match. Although they haven’t trained, there is optimism that they might be ready after another session on Saturday.

While Arsenal managed to defeat Manchester City without Bukayo Saka earlier this season, his presence would undoubtedly be desired by Arteta for Sunday’s encounter. Recent indications suggest that Saka is likely to be available, as he has been managing a muscle ιnjury for a significant part of the season.

Bukayo Saka is known for his determination to be on the pitch and help his team, and it is expected that he will have the same mindset for Arsenal’s most significant game of the season so far.

In other news, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Thomas Partey played in a behind-closed-doors friendly against QPR during the international break and will also be available for Mikel Arteta’s side on Sunday.

Gabriel Martinelli suffered a deep cut in a previous match against Sheffield United, and the international break came at the right time for the Brazilian winger to recover. His return will be a significant boost for Arsenal.

A victory against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City would greatly enhance Arsenal’s chances of winning their first league title in 20 years, and Bukayo Saka understands the importance of playing his part in such a crucial match
