The England winger, Saka, missed Arsenal’s last two games due to a muscle injury sustained during international duty, while Timber was absent in Arsenal’s recent loss to Bournemouth, raising concerns about his availability for this crucial fixture.
Despite initial uncertainty, the duo joined their teammates at the team hotel on Saturday evening, signaling their potential readiness to face Jurgen Klopp’s in-form Liverpool side.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had been cautious when addressing their fitness status in Friday’s press conference, yet the sight of both players rejoining the squad offers a boost to the Gunners.
Arteta remains resolute, expressing confidence in his squad’s depth and resilience. “This is the game,” he stated, emphasizing Arsenal’s strength and positive outlook.
He highlighted the importance of not dwelling on setbacks, saying, “When it comes down to reacting against a difficult situation, we don’t feel sorry for ourselves. We know our strengths and how challenging we can be for our opponents.”
With Liverpool presenting a significant test, Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from last week’s defeat and avoid back-to-back losses in the Premier League.
