Saka Injury Scare Eases for Arsenal Fans, England's Southgate Provides Reassurance
Arsenal supporters were anxiously awaiting news on Bukayo Saka's ankle injury, which occurred during Friday's victory over Malta. The 21-year-old midfielder displayed tremendous determination by playing through the pain for the remainder of the first half, but was subsequently substituted as a precautionary measure.
Fortunately, England manager Gareth Southgate swiftly addressed concerns, assuring fans that Saka's withdrawal was merely a precaution. It is expected that the talented attacker will recover in time for Monday's match. Nevertheless, Phil Foden stands ready to step in if any risks are posed to Saka's fitness.
In the previous game, only Phil Foden, from Manchester City's triumphant treble-winning squad, made an appearance on the pitch. Jack Grealish, John Stones, Kyle Walker, and Kalvin Phillips were kept in reserve, potentially indicating their inclusion for the upcoming clash against bitter rivals on Monday night.
