Bukayo Saka said Monday his enforced injury break was "really good" for him mentally as he set his sights on staying at Arsenal for the long term. The England forward, 23, injured a hamstring in the Gunners' 5-1 win at Crystal Palace on December 21 and required surgery -- leading to the first significant absence of his career so far. He made a goalscoring return to action in Arsenal's 2-1 win against Fulham last week before coming on as a substitute again in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Everton. "Mentally, it was really good for me," Saka said on the eve of the first leg of Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.
