England manager Gareth Southgate may be without Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka for the next round of qualification matches for EURO 2024 as the winger was taken off injured on the final day of the Premier League season.
The Gunners were 4-0 winners over Wolves at the Emirates on Sunday with Saka bagging the third for Mikel Arteta’s side.
The 21-year-old received some heavy blows throughout the match and at the start of the second half, the England star received lengthy treatment on the pitch before carrying on for a few minutes.
Saka was replaced on the hour mark by Reiss Nelson and the Evening Standard are reporting that the Gunners winger may be an injury doubt for England’s upcoming matches.
England face Malta and North Macedonia on June 16 and 19 as the Three Lions look to build on winning the first two games in their group. Saka is a key part of Southgate’s squad and will be a miss should he fail to make their next two matches.
It is unclear who would replace the winger should he miss out, however, Raheem Sterling could be an option given his strong relationship with Southgate.
You see that is one of the things we are saying if you see that the March has already been won and there not much needed to be done you safe guard your players not to allowed them burn out instead of pursuing personal record and loss club record which ever important Saka have no business playing this March against Stoke there are nothing attached to it even if loose it to March supposed be for those that are not much minutes and some our academies already we have lost the premiership and second place secured if it is going to matter if win it then we can well it because we want to win the crown even next season we don’t need to over use them we all know that players are greedy because they want to play always but then you have to excise your authority if such is done Saka will not suffer injury in case of next time.
The guy needs a test to be fair ! 3 years with no decent break from football ! If it carries on he’ll be finished in 3 years
Good for Saka as it will give him time to recover for pre-season
