Mikel Arteta has provided fitness updates on Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Brentford. The Gunners are still on a high following Tuesday night’s 3-0 win over Real Madrid which has put them in sight of a Champions League semi-final appearance.

Bukayo Saka's Arsenal contract runs until 2027 and the 23-year-old recently suggested he'd be open to penning fresh terms with his boyhood club.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is “ready to go” for his return from a long-term hamstring injury. The 23-year-old’s last appearance was the 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace on December 21, where he sustained the issue with his right hamstring.
