Bukayo Saka left the field with a leg injury during England’s recent match, raising concerns for both the national team and Arsenal fans.
Saka, who has been in excellent form this season, was substituted early in the second half after appearing to injured his hamstring in the build-up to Greece’s opening goal.
The sight of the 23-year-old limping off has sparked worries about the extent of the injury, especially with Arsenal heavily relying on him in their current campaign.
Interim England coach Lee Carsley provided a brief update after the game, confirming that Saka “felt something in his leg” during the play that led to Greece’s goal.
Although Saka didn’t need crutches to leave the stadium, his discomfort was evident, and he will undergo further assessment to determine the severity of the injury.
For Arsenal, the timing couldn’t be worse. Saka has been instrumental for the Gunners, contributing two goals and seven assists in just seven Premier League games this season.
His absence could leave a significant void, particularly with Arsenal lacking depth in the right-wing position following the loan departures of Reiss Nelson and Fabio Vieira.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be anxiously awaiting the results of Saka’s assessment, as a prolonged absence could impact the club’s title aspirations.
The young winger has been irreplaceable, not just for his technical ability but for the energy and drive he brings to every game.
Fans will hope for positive news, but for now, Saka’s fitness remains a major concern.
