Injured Saka Leaves England Camp To Return To Arsenal For Further Assessment

Bukayo Saka has left the England training camp and returned to Arsenal for further assessment on the injury he picked up against Greece, according to Sky Sports.

Saka limped off during the second half of Thursday’s defeat to Greece at Wembley and will not feature in England’s Nations League clash with Finland on Sunday.

Interim England boss Lee Carsley gave an update on Saka’s injury after the game.

Carsley said: “He’s been assessed but in the build-up to the first goal you could see he’d felt something in his leg.”

Saka continues to be assessed by the Arsenal medical team after arriving back with the club on Saturday morning ahead of their Premier League game against Bournemouth in their first fixture after the international break on October 19

Meanwhile, Harry Kane was one of 22 players who trained on Saturday, increasing hopes the captain will be fit after missing Thursday’s game.

Kane could not overcome a knock picked up playing for Bayern Munich in time to feature against Greece and his absence prompted Carsley to deploy an attacking line-up featuring Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Saka, Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon.

It backfired as Greece won 2-1 to take control of League B Group 2, leaving England no room for any more slip-ups if they want to win the group and return to League A automatically.

Jack Grealish also took part in training after missing the defeat to Greece.
