Arsenal suffer major injury blow as Bukayo Saka limps off for England just minutes into second half against Greece

ARSENAL suffered a major blow as Bukayo Saka was forced off with injury just six minutes into the second half of England's clash with Greece this evening.

After feeling an issue, the winger limped off and was replaced by Noni Madueke.

Prior to Saka being replaced, Greece had just taken the lead via Vangelis Pavlidis.

It appeared that the Arsenal talisman, 23, sustained his injury in the build-up to Greece's goal.

As Greek stars celebrated going in front, Saka sat down on the turf.

He was subsequently treated by physios, before limping off.

Anthony Gordon looked to console his Three Lions team-mate as he made his way off for Madueke.

Saka was one of several attacking players included in caretaker boss Lee Carsley's starting line-up.

Also in the XI were Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Gordon - with Carsley opting not to start a traditional No9.

Prior to half-time, Saka received a yellow card.

The Gunners winger committed a cynical foul as Greece looked to counter, and was punished accordingly.

Saka isn't the first Arsenal player to suffer an injury on international duty this season.

Last month, Gunners skipper Martin Odegaard went off in tears after sustaining an ankle issue while playing for Norway against Austria.

He has since missed games against Tottenham, Manchester City, Leicester and Southampton - as well as Champions League match-ups with Atalanta and Paris Saint-Germain.

Odegaard, 25, recently shared footage of himself stepping up his recovery.

But his return date is not yet known.
