Arsenal and England are worried about Bukayo Saka because he got hurt and had to leave the game during Arsenal’s 4-0 win against Bournemouth.
Gareth Southgate, the manager of the Three Lions, will announce the team on Thursday for the upcoming matches against Australia and Italy.
Mikel Arteta hopes his key winger will recover in time for the Champions League match on Tuesday and the important game against Manchester City next Sunday.
Saka couldn’t play in the Carabao Cup match against Brentford because he got kicked in the foot during the North London derby last Sunday and couldn’t train before yesterday’s game.
He seemed to be in a lot of pain when he got hit on the ankle while trying to block a shot in the 75th minute from Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
Fabio Vieira came in to replace him right away, and now the Arsenal medical team will check how bad the injury is.
Arteta mentioned, “I think it was a stamp in the same spot as last week, but I haven’t had a chance to speak to him yet. Gabriel Jesus was also limping after the game, so let’s see how they both are. I am just thinking about how we are going to prepare for Lens, and then City will be the next step.”
Saka, who is 22 years old, scored in Arsenal’s strong win against Bournemouth. Goals from Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz, along with Saka’s goal, were followed by a goal from Ben White in injury time.
