Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has come out to give the injury update on his English star player Bukayo Saka. The player sustained an injury in Sunday’s 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest, the coach said the injury will not threaten the player’s World Cup participation with England.
Saka was forced off during Arsenal’s 5-0 win after being tackled by Forest full-back Renan Lodi. The 21-year-old, England’s men’s player of the year, is expected to be a part of Gareth Southgate’s squad for Qatar despite the injury.
According to the coach he said: “Hopefully not.” “It was a bad kick. Right from the beginning, he was limping, but I don’t see any further than that. Let’s see how he is in the next couple of days.” “He got kicked a few times and he wasn’t comfortable.”
England’s first World Cup fixture is against Iran on Monday, 21 November.
