Arsenal fans are anxiously awaiting news on Bukayo Saka after he suffered an injury scare during England’s 2-1 loss to Greece in the Nations League at Wembley. Saka started the match but was forced off in the 52nd minute due to an apparent injury. Supporters feared the worst, especially after the recent loss of Martin Odegaard to an ankle injury during international duty in September.
Providing an update on Saka’s condition, interim England manager Lee Carsley explained, “He’s being assessed. In the build-up to the first goal, you could see he felt something in his leg.” Given Saka’s heavy workload this year and the availability of other quality options for England, it’s unlikely he will feature in Sunday’s Nations League match against Finland.
Saka’s return date remains uncertain, pending a full medical assessment. Arsenal have a busy schedule ahead, including a Premier League trip to Bournemouth and a Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk. Manager Mikel Arteta will be hopeful Saka won’t miss many games, as the 23-year-old has already scored three goals and provided seven assists in 10 appearances this season, proving his importance to the team’s title charge.
