Bukayo Saka has raised concerns for Arsenal after picking up an injury during England’s match, with the winger now facing doubts over his availability for the upcoming game against Finland. Following England’s 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley, Saka was forced to leave the pitch early and will be evaluated ahead of the Nations League fixture.
Having played a key role for Arsenal in the Premier League this season, featuring in all seven matches and providing seven assists, Saka’s injury comes as a blow for both the national team and his club. The forward also started in both Champions League games and the Carabao Cup tie against Bolton, showcasing his importance to Mikel Arteta’s side.
Saka’s substitution during the game against Greece was a result of a leg issue he seemed to have felt just before Greece scored their first goal. Lee Carsley, providing insight on the situation, mentioned that Saka is currently under assessment for the injury. In addition to Saka, captain Harry Kane and Jack Grealish will also undergo checks ahead of training to ensure their fitness.
With Arsenal set to resume their Premier League campaign against Bournemouth on Saturday 19th October, Saka’s potential absence could pose a challenge for Arteta’s squad. The international break has proven to be a tough period for Arsenal, with club captain Martin Odegaard already dealing with an ankle injury expected to keep him out of action until the following month.
As Arsenal looks to maintain their strong start in the league, fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Saka’s condition and hoping for a swift recovery for the talented young player.
