He said: “Yes, he’s got a good chance. “He is going to be here [at the Arsenal training ground], hopefully more with [the] ball at his feet than he has had. “That will mean he is passing the ball and shooting and running and everything. He has done quite a lot already on the pitch working on his own. “Next, we need to arrange it with people around him in a more competitive training session and see how he goes with that. “He’s getting closer, he’s stepping up and making a very good progress, I would say. Saka’s injury has kept him out of Thomas Tuchel’s first England squadGetty “So, let’s see when we start to throw him in with the team how he reacts and how fit he can get quickly.” Since having surgery to repair his hamstring, the road to recovery has been long for Saka. He joined the rest of his teammates for their warm-weather training camp earlier this year. However, Saka took no part in team training. Instead, he was in the gym going through intense rehabilitation, and after three months out, he is nearing a return to the pitch.
