London, November 12, 2024* — In a disappointing turn of events, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has sustained an injury during his side’s Sunday clash against Chelsea, leaving him unable to feature for the England national team in their upcoming international fixtures.
Saka, who has been in sensational form for both club and country, was forced off the pitch in the second half of Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea after appearing to pick up a knock. Initial assessments indicate that the 22-year-old has suffered a muscular injury, though the full extent of the damage is yet to be confirmed.
As a result, Saka will miss England’s upcoming matches, including their European Championship qualifiers. The injury has prompted a call-up for an alternative player, with manager Gareth Southgate making adjustments to the squad.
Saka’s withdrawal marks a significant blow for the Three Lions, as he has been a key player for England, contributing crucial goals and assists in recent international campaigns.
Arsenal fans will also be hoping for a swift recovery, as the injury comes at a crucial time in the Premier League season. Further updates on Saka’s condition are expected after more detailed scans are completed later this week.
