David Raya Reacts as Bukayo Saka Returns from Injury Ahead of Arsenal’s Crucial Run-In

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has provided a lighthearted reaction to the news of Bukayo Saka’s return from injury, as the Gunners winger inches closer to full fitness ahead of a crucial part of the season.

Saka, who has been sidelined for three months with a hamstring injury, took to Instagram to share the news of his return to training. His simple caption, “Hello again,” was met with an amusing response from teammate Raya, who joked:

“Stop wasting my time.”

The exchange delighted Arsenal fans, who have missed the England international’s presence in the squad. With 60 appearances together across competitions, the duo’s chemistry both on and off the pitch is evident.

Saka’s Absence Hurt Arsenal’s Title Chances

Saka’s injury came at a crucial time in Arsenal’s Premier League title chase, and his absence was felt as Mikel Arteta’s side struggled to maintain their momentum. Despite Arsenal's resilience, Liverpool have pulled 12 points clear at the top of the table, making a title win now seem unlikely.

Although Arsenal are still mathematically in the race, Saka’s return might be too little, too late for their Premier League ambitions.

A Champions League Focus?

With the title hopes fading, Arsenal will now shift focus to the Champions League, where they face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. Saka’s return could provide the much-needed boost for Arteta’s men as they aim to make a deep run in Europe’s elite competition.

Final Thoughts: A Timely Boost, But Is It Enough?

While Saka’s return is great news for Arsenal, it raises the question: Is it too late for the Gunners to make a final push for silverware this season? With the Premier League slipping away, all eyes will be on Arsenal’s European campaign to see if they can salvage a memorable season.
