Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka picks up an injury during England’s loss to Greece

Bukayo Saka suffered an injury to his right leg during the match England’s 2-1 defeat by Greece Thursday at Wembley.

The Arsenal striker was replaced by Chelsea winger Noni Madueke in the 51st minute.

Saka, 23, was seen stretching out and holding the back of his right leg before eventually sitting down on the turf after Greece opened the scoring through Vangelis Pavlidis.

England interim head coach Lee Carsley said: “He is being assessed. In the build-up to the first goal you can clearly see he felt something in his leg.”

The defeat left the Three Lions without injured duo Harry Kane and Jack Grealish, but both are expected to be fit for Sunday’s trip to Finland.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side are already without captain Martin Odegaard, who suffered an ankle injury while playing for Norway in September.

The Gunners return to the Premier League on October 19 when they take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
