​Arsenal handed Saka injury boost for Olympiacos clash

Arsenal have been given a huge boost as they prepare to face off against Olympiacos in the Europa League.

The Gunners are hoping to preserve a 3-1 first leg lead in the second home leg of the round of 16 knockout tie.

Mikel Arteta's team are happy to learn that young winger Bukayo Saka will be fit for the game.

Saka came off at half time against Tottenham at the weekend.

"He was doing another test," said the Arsenal boss to reporters.

"Obviously he felt something muscular, but he's been much, much better and evolving really well.

"So we will make a decision this afternoon on what we will do."
