Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was forced off with an injury just six minutes into the second half during England’s match against Greece. Saka, 23, appeared to have sustained the injury during the build-up to Greece’s opening goal by Vangelis Pavlidis. After briefly receiving treatment on the field, Saka limped off and was replaced by Noni Madueke.

Fellow England teammate Anthony Gordon consoled Saka as he left the pitch. The injury adds to Arsenal’s growing concerns, with Martin Odegaard also currently sidelined after sustaining an ankle injury while playing for Norway last month. Odegaard has missed several key games for the Gunners, including matches against Tottenham, Manchester City, and PSG.

Saka’s exit from the game followed his earlier yellow card for a cynical foul in the first half. England caretaker manager Lee Carsley opted for an attacking lineup but without a traditional No. 9, the Three Lions struggled and ultimately fell to Greece.
