Bukayo Saka leaves England squad hours after joining his teammates

The Arsenal superstar was not present for his team's 1-0 victory over League winners Manchester City on Sunday.

Despite missing Arsenal's weekend game, he did arrive at St. George's Park earlier today to report for England duty.

However, reports have suggested that he has been withdrawn from the squad to continue his recovery at Arsenal.

Saka left the Three Lions team after speaking with the medical personnel following the assessment of his injury.

Following their decision, England announced it in a formal statement as reported by the Sun, "Bukayo Saka will play no part in England’s fixtures with Australia and Italy.

"The forward reported to St. George’s Park on Monday alongside the rest of the Three Lions’ squad.

"Having missed Arsenal’s Premier League win against Manchester City on Sunday through injury, Saka was assessed by the England medical team and it was decided the player would continue his rehabilitation at his club."

The statement also stated that manager Gareth Southgate will not call up a replacement for the injured Saka.

Meanwhile, before playing Italy in a Euro 2024 qualifying match at the national stadium the following Tuesday, England will host Australia in a friendly game at Wembley on Friday night.
