Arsenal winger Saka injured, out of England squad

Bukayo Saka was forced off just six minutes into the second half against Greece and replaced by Che




Bukayo Saka has withdrawn from the England squad for Sunday’s Nations League game against Finland and returned to Arsenal for further assessment.

The 23-year-old winger was substituted early in the second half against Greece on Thursday after picking up an injury in his right leg.

Saka has been an ever-present for Arsenal so far this season, scoring three goals in 10 appearances in all competitions.

The Gunners first match after the international break is away at Bournemouth on 19 October.

Liverpool’s uncapped midfielder Curtis Jones, who was added to the England squad earlier this week, has also withdrawn because of a personal commitment.

Captain Harry Kane and midfielder Jack Grealish returned to training on Saturday after missing the Greece game with knocks.

The 22-man squad will fly out to Helsinki on Saturday afternoon to prepare for Sunday’s game (17:00 BST).

Lee Carsley’s side are second in League B Group 2 with six points from their opening three matches. (BBC: Text, Excluding Headline)
