Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Jesus - Latest Arsenal injury news and return dates

Arsenal will have to wait for their next match with the FA Cup quarter finals taking place instead of Premier League fixtures this weekend.

The Gunners will return to action next week as they host London rivals Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Mikel Arteta's side sit 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool and look almost certain to miss out on a first league title since 2004.

But Arsenal will be looking to use their domestic fixtures to build some much-needed momentum for their Champions League quarter-final showdown against holders Real Madrid next month. Below are the latest Arsenal injury news and return dates.

Bukayo Saka

Injury: Hamstring.

Having missed the last three months, Saka is on course to return from injury in April with the hope being he can even feature against Fulham in Arsenal's first game back from the international break

What Arteta has said: "He's got a good chance [of returning in April]. He is going to be here [at London Colney], hopefully, more with the ball at his feet than he has had. He's getting closer; he's stepping up and making very good progress."

Potential return date: Fulham (H) - Tuesday April 1.

Riccardo Calafiori

Injury: Knee.

After landing awkwardly on his knee, Calafiori returned to north London from Italy duty early after it was deemed he could not feature against Germany in the Nations League, as confirmed in a statement by the national team.

Reports in his homeland have since claimed he is expected to miss the next few weeks, which places into doubt his availability to feature against Real Madrid.

What Italy boss Luciano Spalletti said: "We don't know about Calafiori, his knee feels strange but he can't answer the question of what he feels.”

Potential return date: Mid-April.

Gabriel Jesus

Injury: Knee

During the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United, Jesus damaged his ACL with surgery required to fix the issue.

What Arteta has said: "He had to come off on a stretcher with a lot of pain, touching his knee. It's not looking good."

Potential return date: October/November 2025.

Kai Havertz

Injury: Hamstring.

Havertz has been ruled out for the season with a torn hamstring suffered during Arsenal's warm-weather training camp overseas.

What Arteta has said: "We were having a great camp in Dubai recharging, training, having some time off and connecting again with nature in a different environment, and then the injury happened in a very unexpected way. He was going to stop a shot after a set-piece and stretched the leg and he felt his hamstring."

Potential return date: June/July 2025.

Takehiro Tomiyasu

Injury: Knee.

Tomiyasu also recently underwent an operation on his knee with the Japan international set for another extended spell on the sidelines.

What Arteta has said: "He’s been trying everything that he possibly could to try to avoid it [surgery], we did that with the department but at some stage, the knee wasn’t reacting as good and as rapidly as we needed it to and, between all parties, we decided the best thing to do was to to have that surgery again."

“Unfortunately it’s going to keep him out for a long period again and it’s very sad because he’s a player that lives for the game he is really, really keen to play and be consistent. When he's at his level he’s an incredible player for us.”

Potential return date: Late 2025.
