Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka picked up a hamstring injury while on international duty with England earlier this week against Greece.
The player will now miss the upcoming international game against Finland and he has returned to his club to determine the true extent of the damage. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta lost Martin Odegaard to a serious injury in the previous international break, and he will certainly hope that it is not a similar situation with Saka.
Sky Sports stated: “We do now know that Bukayo Saka has returned to his club Arsenal for further assessment”.

They are competing for the league title with Manchester City and they cannot afford to lose a player like Saka at this stage of the season. Arsenal will certainly hope that it is a minor inconvenience and the England international can return to action soon.
