Bukayo Saka sparks injury scares at Arsenal after limping off the pitch for England

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal another injury scare when he hobbled in England’s defeat to Greece. The striker’s use for the trip to Finland is doubtful.

England need a result in Helsinki after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley, but Saka will be assessed ahead of the Nations League game.

Saka was replaced by Noni Madueke at the start of the second half after appearing to suffer a leg injury shortly before Greece’s first goal at Wembley.

“He’s under investigation,” Carsley said. “I think you could obviously feel something in his leg leading up to the first goal.”

Carsley added that captain Harry Kane and Jack Grealish would be examined on Friday and hoped they would be fit to coach.

Saka has started all seven of Arsenal’s Premier League games this season, as well as both Champions League games and the third-round Carabao Cup game against Bolton.

The striker has provided seven assists in as many Premier League starts this season, with Mikel Arteta’s side third in the table, a point behind Liverpool and level with Manchester City.

Arsenal return from the international break to face Bournemouth on Saturday 19 October.

The last international break was a nightmare for Arteta as club captain Martin Odegaard suffered an ankle injury that is expected to keep him out until at least next month.
