Euro 2024 qualifying: injured, Saka withdraws from England

Winger Bukayo Saka, injured with Arsenal, is out of the England team's matches in October, including the clash against Italy in qualifying for Euro 2024, the English Football Association (FA) confirmed on Monday ).

The announcement was anticipated on Sunday by his coach at the Gunners, Mikel Arteta, after the poster won 1-0 against Manchester City in the championship, without the young striker.

Saka came to St. George's Park, England's training center, on Monday to be examined by the medical team and "it was decided that the player would continue his rehabilitation at his club", the FA said. No replacement is planned, it is specified. At 22, Saka is already an indispensable player for the national team and club, with whom he has scored five goals and given five assists in ten Premier League matches this season.

Rarely injured, he had played 87 matches in a row in the league before Sunday's withdrawal, which occurred five days after a physical problem (tendon) with Arsenal in the Champions League.

The striker with 30 caps will therefore not be able to take his revenge against Italy on October 17 at Wembley, the London stadium where the Nazionale beat the Three Lions in the final of the Euro in 2021 after a penalty shootout where Saka failed. England, first in their qualifying group for Euro 2024, will previously play a friendly match against Australia, also at Wembley, on October 13.
