Bukayo Saka's departure from the England camp due to injury was confirmed by the Football Association (FA) on Thursday, with the 22-year-old winger returning to Arsenal to continue his rehabilitation, as stated in the FA's press release. Saka's injury prevented his participation in training sessions at St. George's Park, consequently ruling him out of England's upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.
The absence of Saka, who has made 32 appearances for England and earned accolades as England men's player of the year in the last two seasons, poses a significant setback for the national team. With 11 goals to his name for his country, Saka's dynamic presence on the field will be missed during the upcoming international fixtures.
Saka's injury raises concerns for Arsenal, particularly amidst their involvement in a closely contested title race in the Premier League. Currently leading the table on goal difference, Mikel Arteta's side faces stiff competition from Liverpool and Manchester City, with each team vying for the coveted league title. Arsenal's forthcoming clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on March 31 adds further significance to Saka's injury news as the club navigates through the crucial stages of the season.
