Bukayo Saka, an England winger, may be sidelined for weeks by his injury. Saka appears to have injured his hamstring during England’s UEFA Nations League match against Greece, just one month after Martin Ødegaard suffered an ankle injury while playing for his country. The 23-year-old was forced to leave the field in the 52nd minute after pulling up just before Vangelis Pavlidis scored the game’s first goal.
Lee Carsley, England’s interim manager, stated, “He’s being assessed,” following the game. He appeared to feel something in his leg during the build-up to the opening goal. Saka hobbled off the field after receiving assistance from the training staff. Arsenal has seven important games in the next four weeks, including Premier League matchups against Chelsea and Liverpool, so losing their finest playmaker would be devastating to their chances of winning the title.
Arsenal fans fear international break curse has struck again
After witnessing Bukayo Saka limp off hurt for England last night, Arsenal supporters were left cursing the curse of the international break once more. The club’s star winger has been playing at an incredible level thus far this season, but he now has to race against the clock to be healthy for the Gunners’ next match, which is against Bournemouth, one week from Saturday.
Saka might now be added to the list of injured players that the Gunners have already lost, along with Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber, and Ben White. Remaining at London Colney are Kai Havertz and Thomas Partey, two of the few talents who have left for international service due to fitness concerns in the squad.
