Bukayo Saka injury: Arsenal forward leaves England camp to return to club for further assessment
Bukayo Saka has left the England training camp and returned to Arsenal; forward will get further assessment on the injury picked up against Greece; Arsenal face Bournemouth in their first fixture after the international break on October 19, live on Sky Sports
Bukayo Saka has left the England training camp and returned to Arsenal for further assessment on the injury he picked up against Greece.
The Arsenal winger limped off during the second half of Thursday’s defeat to Greece at Wembley and will not feature in England’s Nations League clash with Finland on Sunday.
Interim England boss Lee Carsley gave an update on Saka’s injury after the game.
Saka continues to be assessed by the Arsenal medical team after arriving back with the club on Saturday morning ahead of their Premier League game against Bournemouth in their first fixture after the international break on October 19 – which you can watch live on Sky Sports.
Kane could not overcome a knock picked up playing for Bayern Munich in time to feature against Greece and his absence prompted Carsley to deploy an attacking line-up featuring Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Saka, Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon.
It backfired as Greece won 2-1 to take control of League B Group 2, leaving England no room for any more slip-ups if they want to win the group and return to League A automatically.
Jack Grealish also took part in training after missing the defeat to Greece.
