Saka’s Return and Gordon’s Absence: Injury Updates Ahead of Arsenal vs Newcastle Showdown

Arsenal have been handed a boost with Bukayo Saka set to return to the squad for their crucial Premier League clash against Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta revealed that Saka is back in training and likely to feature, while Riccardo Calafiori also nears full fitness. Jurrien Timber remains sidelined. Newcastle will have to cope without their key winger Anthony Gordon, who has been ruled out with a hip injury sustained against Crystal Palace. His absence leaves Eddie Howe’s side short of one of their top performers this season. With the title race tight alongside Manchester City, both teams face pivotal selection decisions. Arsenal will look to capitalise on fresh legs, and Newcastle must adapt their attack without Gordon.
