Bukayo Saka celebrating a goal for Arsenal

Arsenal star figure and England international Bukayo Saka has been forced to withdraw from the squad due to injury. This was confirmed in an official statement released by England on Monday, October 9, 2023. Saka, who was not available for the Gunners victory over Manchester City after Mikel Arteta voiced his concerns about his fitness, was confirmed to be out injured and won’t feature in the international games for England against Australia and Italy.

The statement released by the England FA read. “The forward reported to St George’s Park on Monday alongside the rest of the Three Lions’ squad. Having missed Arsenal’s Premier League win against Manchester City on Sunday through injury, Saka was assessed by the England medical team, and it was decided the player would continue his rehabilitation at his club. No replacements are planned with Gareth Southgate having a squad of 25 players to work with.”

Bukayo Saka is, however, not the only Arsenal player missing out during the international break due to injury, as it was also confirmed that William Saliba would also not be available for the French National team after he was substituted off in the victory over Manchester City on Sunday, October 8, 2023.….CONTINUE.FULL.READING>>>
