Mikel Arteta says Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are “evolving really well” from their injuries - but he is unsure if they will be fit for Arsenal’s Champions League last-16 tie with PSV Eindhoven.
Saka tore his hamstring in December and underwent surgery, while Martinelli also suffered a hamstring injury earlier this month.
Arsenal will face PSV Eindhoven in the last 16 of the Champions League in early March and Arteta does not know if they will be fit by then.
“Well, he has been trying everything that he possibly could to try to avoid it (surgery),” said Arteta.
The right-back, who underwent knee surgery in November, was back in the squad for last week’s win at Leicester but did not come off the bench.
