Riccardo Calafiori, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus \u2013 Updates on Arsenal Injuries and Expected Return Dates.<\/p>\n
Here are the latest updates on injuries as Arsenal prepares for their Premier League comeback next month.<\/p>\n
As Arsenal gears up to face Fulham at the beginning of April, they may be missing up to five players.<\/p>\n
Due to the international break and the FA Cup quarter-finals, the Gunners will not play again until April 1.<\/p>\n
Currently sitting 12 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, Arsenal will be eager to close the gap when they resume play in just over a week.<\/p>\n
However, they will likely be without Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz, and potentially Bukayo Saka for the match against Fulham.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Riccardo Calafiori has emerged as a new injury concern after leaving the field with an injury while playing for Italy.<\/p>\n
Here, football.london provides the latest information on Arsenal\u2019s injured players and their potential return timelines.<\/p>\n
Bukayo Saka<\/p>\n
Saka is making significant strides in his recovery from a severe hamstring injury sustained in late December and may return to the pitch before the season concludes.<\/p>\n
The England international has been sidelined for Arsenal\u2019s last 13 Premier League matches due to this injury, but earlier this month, Arteta shared an encouraging update regarding the forward\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s getting closer,\u201d Arteta stated. \u201cHe\u2019s stepping up and making very good progress, I would say.\u201d<\/p>\n
Expected return: Before the end of the season<\/p>\n
Riccardo Calafiori<\/p>\n
Calafiori had to leave the field due to an apparent injury during the final moments of Italy\u2019s match against Germany on Thursday. He slipped, causing his knee to buckle.<\/p>\n
The defender received medical attention but was unable to continue. Italy\u2019s head coach, Luciano Spalletti, commented, \u201cHe mentioned that his knee feels strange, but he cannot provide a more precise answer, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Calafiori is expected to undergo evaluation by Italy\u2019s medical team ahead of the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final against Germany.<\/p>\n
Expected return: Unknown<\/p>\n
Gabriel Jesus<\/p>\n
Since suffering an ACL injury during Arsenal\u2019s FA Cup loss to Manchester United in early January, Jesus has been sidelined. The club has announced that he will be unavailable for a considerable period, effectively ruling him out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
Expected return: Next season<\/p>\n
Takehiro Tomiyasu<\/p>\n
Last month, Tomiyasu revealed that he had undergone knee surgery, which is expected to keep him out for the remainder of the 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n
Expected return: Next season<\/p>\n
Kai Havertz<\/p>\n
Havertz\u2019s season came to a harsh conclusion due to a hamstring injury sustained during Arsenal\u2019s mid-season training camp in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
The club has confirmed that the German international will be out of action until the beginning of the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n
After his surgery, Havertz shared on Instagram: \u201cThe last few days have been challenging both physically and mentally. However, yesterday was a positive day with a successful operation and a victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate all the supportive messages over the past few days; they have truly helped. I am now dedicated to my recovery and will continue to support the team from behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n
