It appears that Saka will miss out on the next international break, and most likely, a bit longer than that.
“As I said, he needs another scan to see how the amount of fluid that was there was resolving,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said about Saka’s quad injury this past weekend. “Whether the tendon is touched and how badly it is touched. Afterwards, we know more.
“It looks like [he could miss out for England], but we have to wait and see next week.”
Moving on to another English international, Eze is dealing with an injury/fitness issue, according to Arteta. However, the Gunners boss did not specify what exactly the issue is.
