Arsenal and England have received a positive update on Bukayo Saka's fitness, with the winger returning to full training ahead of England's World Cup clash against Ghana.

Saka had been training separately from the main England squad in recent days as part of a carefully managed programme, but he rejoined group training on Sunday at the team's base in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and appeared in good condition.

Saka Back With The Squad
The 24-year-old was limited to an 18-minute substitute appearance during England's 4-2 victory over Croatia, which had raised concerns among Arsenal supporters mindful of his heavy workload over recent seasons.

England's medical staff have been monitoring the Achilles issue that troubled Saka during the closing stages of last season. There was no indication of a serious injury, with the national team simply adopting a cautious approach with one of its key players.

His return to full training suggests confidence within England's management team regarding his condition as the tournament progresses.

Tuchel Explains England's Fitness Plan
England manager Thomas Tuchel emphasised that the national team are taking a careful approach with a player who has accumulated significant minutes for both club and country.

Speaking about Saka's condition, Tuchel said: "He hasn't missed a day of training, so I think that's a good thing."

The German coach also underlined the importance of managing minor fitness issues during a major tournament.

"He's a crucial player for Arsenal. He's a top-quality player, and he brings quality to the pitch for Arsenal and England.

"Managing niggles competing is very important for the latter stages. You need important players like him to be ready to play and step up when called upon."

Good News For Arsenal And England
The latest update will be welcomed by Arsenal supporters. After another demanding campaign in which Saka remained one of Mikel Arteta's most influential attacking players, both England and Arsenal have reason to manage his workload carefully.

The winger has now returned to full training and appears on course to play a significant role as England look to progress deep into the tournament. With Ghana next up for the Three Lions, the focus will be on Saka continuing to build his fitness while avoiding any setbacks.
