After walking out of England's UEFA Nations League match against Greece, Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal cause for concern regarding injuries. Saka hobbled off the field shortly after the Three Lions went behind 1-0 in England's match against Greece at Wembley. After receiving medical attention, the winger for Arsenal was substituted by Noni Madueke.
Saka, who has recorded an incredible seven assists in addition to two goals, has been a key component of Arsenal's outstanding early-season performance. The Gunners will now have to wait anxiously to see out how serious the problem is as he has just failed to offer a goal contribution in one game, a 4-2 victory over Leicester City.
Since missing a competitive match in October 2023 due to a thigh ailment, Saka has established himself as a mainstay for England. The match was a European Championship qualifier versus Italy. This weekend, Finland will play England. By then, Arsenal is hoping to know something about Saka's fitness.
After the attacker hobbled off during Thursday night's Nations League loss to Greece, interim England boss Lee Carsley gave a statement on Bukayo Saka. He said, “He’s being assessed. In the build-up to the first goal, you could see he felt something in his leg.”
Arsenal suffer further blows with Havertz and Saka injuries
Following the international break, Arsenal's next assignment is an away game against Bournemouth, followed by a matchup with Liverpool at the top of the standings. Saka's inventiveness has allowed Arsenal to pull off important victories in the closing minutes, but if they are forced to play without him as well as Martin Odegaard for extended periods of time, their depth may be put to the test.
The injury to Odegaard's ankle occurred in the September international break. When Kai Havertz headed home a goal against Southampton, he ran into Aaron Ramsdale. There are rumors that he had a knee injury. It's been reported that after running all the tests, Arsenal will verify the extent of the injury.
