Bukayo Saka injury: Arsenal forward leaves England camp to return to club for further assessment | Football News
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 was forced off in the second half at Wembley and replaced by Noni Madueke in the aftermath of Greece’s first goal from Vangelis Palvidis just after half-time.
Interim England boss Lee Carsley gave an update on Saka’s injury after the game.
Carsley said: “He’s been assessed but in the build-up to the first goal you could see he’d felt something in his leg.”
Arsenal face Bournemouth in their first fixture after the international break on October 19 – which you can watch live on Sky Sports.
Another injury blow for Arsenal?
Sky Sports News reporter Dharmesh Sheth at England training:
“Saka will return to Arsenal for further assessment on what looks like a hamstring injury he suffered against Greece.
“The winger was substituted after 51 minutes last Thursday.
“A penny for Mikel Arteta’s thoughts.
“The last two international breaks have seen him lose his captain Martin Odegaard with Norway and now Saka, who is probably going to be an injury doubt for the trip to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth.”
