Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has called on Bukayo Saka, who has recovered from injury, to help the team in the fight for the English Premier League title. The winger, who was sidelined for a period due to an Achilles tendon injury, is expected to feature in the crucial home match against Newcastle on Saturday. In the Englishman's absence, the Gunners won only once in five matches, losing their lead in the league table. Goal.com reports on this.
Arteta noted that the 24-year-old was in excellent spirits during Friday's training session and is considered the team's most influential player. This season, Arsenal has won 73 percent of the matches in which Saka started. The manager did not hide that he expects his leader to produce game-changing actions during the decisive moments of the title race.
“Bukayo has been one of our most impactful players in recent years. When the decisive moments come, we trust him to create the situations that secure victory for us. It is very important to have him in the squad, and we will try to utilize him correctly,” Arteta said during the press conference. Currently, Arsenal and Manchester City are level on points and goal difference.
With five rounds remaining until the end of the championship, Arteta urged his players not to be distracted by outside talk and to focus entirely on results on the pitch. According to the manager, the right to be champions can only be proven through performance. For the London club, which has lost four of its last six matches, a victory over Newcastle is absolutely essential to improve its position in the standings.
