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.

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.

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.”

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

“Saka will return to Arsenal for further assessment on what looks like a hamstring injury he suffered against Greece.

“It’s not a surprise after the winger was substituted after 51 minutes last Thursday holding his right hamstring.

“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.”
