According to Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, Bukayo Saka will not be included in the England team for their upcoming international matches.
Saka couldn't play in the Gunners' victory against Manchester City as he was having trouble with his hamstring in past games.
Saka's non-appearance in the game put an end to his impressive record of playing in 87 straight Premier League matches. Arteta declared that he will not participate in the upcoming England fixtures against Australia (on October 13th) and Italy (on October 17th).
Arteta stated that he doubts that the person in question would be able to participate in a football match. This is due to the fact that they have not had any practice sessions and are not currently able to engage in such activities.
He hasn't participated in any training sessions and is currently unable to join the football game.
In this blog post, we will discuss the comments made by Mikel Arteta regarding Bukayo Saka. The Arsenal coach recently praised Saka's performance in a match and highlighted his potential as a player. Arteta commended Saka on his versatility and ability to play in multiple positions. He also emphasized the 19-year-old's strong work ethic and dedication to improving his skills. These qualities, according to Arteta, make Saka a valuable asset to the team. Furthermore, Arteta expressed his confidence in Saka's potential to become a great player in the future. He believes that with continued hard work and focus, Saka can achieve great things in his career. Overall, Arteta's comments on Saka showcase the young player's talent and potential. As fans and spectators, we can look forward to watching Saka's growth and development on the field.
The young winger, who is just 22 years old, had to leave the pitch during Arsenal's defeat against Lens on Tuesday. This wasn't the first time he had to be substituted, as he was also taken off during their win against Bournemouth last weekend.
On Thursday, the manager of the English football team, Gareth Southgate, announced that he would not be willing to take any chances with Saka, even though the upcoming match against Italy is an important qualifier for the European Championship.
Earlier this week, Southgate mentioned that he can solely rely on Mikel Arteta's remarks about the recent matches.
"We take care of the players like no other country. Our focus is always on our players since they play for their clubs mostly in England, and then they represent our country in tournaments."
In contrast to other nations, only the Premier League players are recognized, without any consideration given to their well-being or training.
I believe that if we communicate effectively with all of their clubs, they would mostly concur that we provide superior feedback compared to other countries.
Our team trusts us to make decisions that are beneficial for the future, whenever possible. We play only 10 games each year, and there have been occasions when Bukayo, for instance, was left out of the lineup.
However, there are specific important matches where if you have the chance to involve your most skilled athletes, it's preferable to do so.
"We have the task of ensuring that the country qualifies, however, as a former player, I have never endangered a player's physical health in any way, shape or form. Furthermore, I would never do so."
