LONDON (AP) — Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is set to return after a month out injured for the Premier League title contender’s home match against Newcastle on Saturday.
The England international has missed Arsenal’s last five matches — containing three losses — because of an Achilles injury.
“Bukayo is probably going to be in the squad,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Friday. “So, good news.”
Arsenal is looking to bounce back from — to Bournemouth and Manchester City — and from to City.
Saka is expected to be a starter for England at the World Cup.
