After Arsenalβs 5-1 demolition of Sporting CP, Bukayo Saka made a heartfelt revelation about Martin Γdegaardβs return to the squad. Following Γdegaardβs ankle injury, which sidelined him for two months, his comeback has been a game-changer for the Gunners.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Saka shared his excitement, saying, βI couldnβt help but smile when he returned. We have such a strong rapport, and Iβm delighted heβs back. I hope he stays healthy for the rest of the season.β Γdegaardβs impact was evident as Arsenal cruised past Sporting, with Saka also scoring in both the 5-1 win and the 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Saka also spoke about the importance of Arsenalβs performance, noting, βThis is our home. We know Sporting are a top team, but weβve shown we can perform at the highest level. Today, everyone was exceptional.β His composed penalty at 4-1 secured the win and kept Sporting from mounting a late comeback.
With Γdegaard back and Arsenal in top form, the team is set to continue their strong run in both domestic and European competitions.
