Arsenal: Bukayo Saka in shape after an injury and could play against Fulham

“All the careful things are already done. Now it’s about putting it on the grass at the right time, but he is pushing because he really wants.

“We respected the temporal sequence and did everything.

“Bukayo is a huge weapon that we have. We know the impact he has in the team and how important his role and contribution to our success is.”

Arsenal is second in the Premier League, 12 points behind the Liverpool leaders with nine remaining games.

The defender Riccardo Calafiori faces a spell on the sidelines with a knee injury suffered internationally for Italy against Germany on March 20.

“He could have been greatly worse,” said Arte.

“We hope they are a matter of weeks, but we have to see how the injury evolves.”

Andrea Berta, the new sports director of Arsenal, was present at the press conference on Monday after being appointed successor of Ed this week.

Arte said that Italian Berta had “many options” from other clubs but was “positive” in the adhesion to Arsenal.
