Bukayo Saka ups the ante during Arsenal’s warm-weather training camp in Dubai as he closes in on timely return – but eagle-eyed fans spot worrying post-surgery scar

Bukayo Saka is making progress towards his Arsenal return and was pictured looking focused in a gym workout session in their training camp in Dubai. The forward is slated for a return in March after injuring his hamstring in December.

He cut a determined figure as he accompanied team-mates out for the flight to the United Arab Emirates last week.

Mikel Arteta’s side are hoping the camp can provide the sort of rejuvenation it did last season, when they embarked on a run of win 16 of their next 18 games afterwards.

However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed the scar remaining on his leg after he had surgery on his hamstring.

In workout photos posted on Arsenal’s Instagram page, the scar can be seen on the rear half of his right leg, just above the knee.
