Bukayo Saka returns to Arsenal after injury blow
England winger Bukayo Saka has returned for medical assessment at Arsenal following his hamstring injury against Greece this week.
The 23-year-old has been in stellar form for the Gunners this campaign and he has already registered three goals and seven assists.
It is unclear whether he will be fit for the next league game against Bournemouth after an untimely setback on England duty.
Saka was substituted in the 51st minute with a hamstring issue and he has been sent back to London Colney for more examinations.
The injury is only a minor one, but further assessment is required to find out whether he will be fit for the forthcoming trip to the South Coast.
Arsenal have had a brilliant start to the season and they are third in the standings with just one point separating them from leaders Liverpool.
Saka's absence would be a huge blow for the Gunners in the short run, considering they will host Liverpool before the end of the month.
