Bukayo Saka Withdraw From England Squad As Precaution
Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has dropped out of the England squad for the friendlies against Brazil and Belgium due to injury.
The Arsenal winger, 22, has not been able to take part in training since reporting for international duty.
Saka left the Three Lions camp on Thursday with an unspecified injury, with Gareth Southgate’s side confirming he would be returning to club side Arsenal for treatment on an injury he arrived with.
He has been in fine form for his club this season, with Arsenal top of the Premier League with 10 games to go and facing a two-legged Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich.
He has scored 16 goals for the Gunners this season – including 13 in the Premier League.
England face Brazil at Wembley on Saturday before hosting Belgium at the national stadium on 26 March.
Saka’s withdrawal is a setback for England boss Gareth Southgate.
