Bukayo Saka has caused concern among Arsenal fans after withdrawing from the England squad for friendlies against Brazil and Belgium due to a reported Achilles injury. The 22-year-old winger has been experiencing pain in his right Achilles and trained separately from the team before leaving the camp for continued rehabilitation.
Saka’s absence raises doubts about his availability for Arsenal’s upcoming crucial fixtures, including a potentially title-deciding game against Manchester City. Fans expressed mixed reactions, with some worried about the impact on Arsenal’s season, while others remain hopeful, suggesting Saka is focusing on the league. The withdrawal opens up opportunities for Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen to potentially start on the right wing.
Arsenal faces a busy April schedule, including matches against Luton, Brighton, Aston Villa, Wolves, Tottenham, and a Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich. Saka’s recovery will be closely monitored by both Arsenal and England as they prepare for their respective campaigns.
