Bukayo Saka boost for Arsenal! Gunners star sends out message on return to training after hamstring surgery ahead of crunch Champions League tie with Real Madrid

The 23-year-old has been out injured since sustaining a hamstring injury in the first half of his team's 5-1 win against Crystal Palace in December, resulting in surgery.

The north London side hope Saka will be fit for the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid next month, and England international appears on track to make his return soon as he shared a picture of himself giving a thumbs up in training.

"Hello again", he wrote in the caption.

Despite his lengthy absence, Saka remains Arsenal's most productive player in the Premier League, having scored five goals and made 10 assists in 16 games. He has also netted four times and set up two more in the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta's team are preparing for next week's Premier League clash against Fulham, followed by a trip to Goodison Park to face Everton on April 5.
