Bukayo Saka has withdrawn from the England squad for Sunday’s Nations League game against Finland and returned to Arsenal for further assessment.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old winger was substituted early in the second half against Greece<\/a> on Thursday after picking up an injury in his right leg.<\/p>\n

Saka has been an ever-present for Arsenal so far this season, scoring three goals in 10 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n

The Gunners first match after the international break is away at Bournemouth on 19 October.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s uncapped midfielder Curtis Jones, who was added to the England squad<\/a> earlier this week, has also withdrawn because of a personal commitment.<\/p>\n

The remaining squad of 22 players will train at Tottenham’s training ground before flying to Helsinki on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Lee Carsley’s side are second in League B Group 2 with six points from their opening three matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
