Bukayo Saka Injury Adds to Arsenal’s Woes Amid Key International Loss
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka suffered an injury during England's 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley, raising concerns for both club and country. The talented winger, who has been pivotal for Arsenal this season, was forced to leave the pitch in the 51st minute after appearing to tweak his right leg. Chelsea’s Noni Madueke replaced Saka, who had been seen holding the back of his leg, signaling what could be a hamstring issue. England interim manager, Lee Carsley, confirmed post-match that Saka is being assessed, though the extent of the injury remains unclear.

This news compounds Arsenal's existing injury crisis. Already without several key players, including captain Martin Ødegaard, who has been out with an ankle injury since September, Mikel Arteta’s squad is starting to look increasingly thin as they prepare to resume Premier League action. The Gunners are scheduled to play Bournemouth on October 19, but Saka’s availability for that match, along with Ødegaard’s, remains in doubt. Kai Havertz, who has also withdrawn from international duty due to a knee problem, adds to Arsenal’s injury headaches.
Saka’s absence could be a significant blow for Arsenal. The 23-year-old has already netted two goals in the Premier League this season, continuing his rise as one of the league’s most influential young talents. His dynamic play on the wing has been crucial for Arsenal’s attacking efforts, and Arteta will hope for a swift recovery. However, the club’s medical team will be monitoring the situation closely before deciding whether Saka will be available to return to action soon.
In the meantime, Arsenal fans will be anxiously waiting for further updates, hoping the international break doesn’t derail their team’s early-season momentum. For now, it’s a nervous wait for Gunners supporters as the injury list continues to grow.
