  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The club tweeted four photos of a smiling Saka being put through his paces and wrote: "Stepping up that rehab."

  Saka's absence has been keenly felt by Arsenal over the past two months, with Mikel Arteta's men struggling to replicate his goals and assists. Reports suggest he could be ready to return in March as the Gunners try to win the Premier League and Champions League. Having him back would be a huge boost.
