Arsenal star Bukayo Saka sent home from England squad amid fear of injury

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been sent home from the England squad following his injury against Grecce.

England failed to defeat Greece in the UEFA Nations League, losing 2-1 in a disappointing performance.

Saka, who started on the right wing for England, could not finish the game and was substituted early in the second half.

The England international hobbled off with what looked to be a hamstring injury and was substituted for Noni Madueke.

Saka sent home for assessment 

According to the Sun, Saka has returned to London Colney for further assessment from the Gunners medical staff.

Saka was treated on the Wembley pitch on Thursday night after grabbing the back of his right leg.

However, it wasn't considered to be a significant strain but has been left out for their trip to Finland in a few days.

The Arsenal winger has been in hot form for the Gunners so far this season, with two goals and seven assists.

Arteta will be hoping that the injury to his star player is not serious and will be available for the next game.

The Gunners manager has already seen one of his key players, Martin Odegaard, miss a lot of games this season and will be hoping Saka makes the trip to Bournemouth next weekend.

England will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing performance against Greece when they face Finland.
