Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is yet to join up with his fellow England teammates as the Three Lion prepare for a World Cup qualifier tomorrow v San Marino.
The Gunners staff has kept Saka in the Arsenal training center to evaluate a hamstring injury. Sources say this doesn’t appear to be the same hamstring problem that forced him off the pitch v Tottenham.
Saka will definitely miss England’s match on Thursday, but could join the England team in time to face Albania and Poland later during the international break.
The Arsenal and England staffs are working closely together to monitor Saka’s progress.
