England winger Bukayo Saka has returned to Arsenal for further
assessment of a leg injury and will miss Sunday’s Nations League match in
Finland, the England team said on Saturday.
Saka was forced
off in the 51st minute of England’s 2-1 loss to Greece at Wembley on Thursday.
England interim manager Lee Carsley had said that Saka suffered a leg injury.
A 22-man squad
will fly to Helsinki ahead of Sunday’s Nations League fixture as Liverpool
midfielder Curtis Jones has withdrawn due to personal reasons, the team
statement added.
England are in
second place in the GroupB2 standings, three points behind Greece after three
games.
Saka’s injury is a
blow for Arsenal with their captain Martin Odegaard also sidelined. Mikel
Arteta’s side play Bournemouth away in the Premier League next Saturday
