Update: Bukayo Saka Withdraws from England Squad Due to Injury

Arsenal’s forward Bukayo Saka, has withdrawn from the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers due to injury.

The winger who missed his side’s 1-0 win over City at the Emirates yesterday initially reported to the Three Lions’ training camp alongside other players today, but further assessment revealed he won’t be involved in the international duties.

“Bukayo Saka will play no part in England’s fixtures with Australia and Italy,” the English FA confirmed via their website.

“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.

“No replacements are planned with Gareth Southgate having a squad of 25 players to work with.”

Gareth Southgate-led England will welcome Australia for a friendly match on Friday night, followed by the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy at the Wembley Stadium in London next Tuesday.
