A surge of hope electrified the Arsenal camp on the eve of their titanic Premier League showdown with Manchester City. The source of this renewed belief? The long-awaited return of their shining light, Bukayo Saka, to full training.

The sight of the English international back with the main squad, moving with his trademark agility, was a welcome relief. After being sidelined for several critical matches, his presence on the training pitch signals a potential game-changing comeback for the crucial Sunday fixture.

This uplifting turn of fortune comes a month after a tough challenge in the clash against Leeds United left Saka sidelined. Now, having navigated a diligent recovery, the prodigious winger appears poised to once again don the famous red and white and offer his vital creative spark.

All eyes now turn to the Etihad Stadium, where the drama will unfold today, September 21st, at 17:30 Central European Time. Saka's potential involvement adds a compelling new layer to a contest already dripping with narrative and significance.
