Bukayo Saka has withdrawn from the England squad following talks with Arsenal medics amid concerns over the forward’s fitness.

Mail Sport reported last week that Saka was a doubt for the forthcoming internationals against Australia and Italy after sustaining hamstring and thigh problem in last week’s loss at Lens.

The 22-year-old was still selected in the squad after Gareth Southgate said Saka was in contention for Arsenal’s game versus Manchester City on Sunday.

Arsenal expect Saka to be available for the game at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal and the FA had discussed a possible compromise that would have seen Saka miss Friday’s friendly against Australia and be available to play versus Italy on Monday.

But after talks with Arsenal and assessing Saka themselves, England have agreed to release the forward.

‘The forward reported to St George’s Park on Monday alongside the rest of the Three Lions’ squad,’ an FA statement read.

‘Having missed Arsenal’s Premier League win against Manchester City on Sunday through injury, Saka was assessed by the England medical team and it was decided the player would continue his rehabilitation at his club.

‘No replacements are planned with Gareth Southgate having a squad of 25 players to work with.’

Southgate’s side host Australia in a friendly at Wembley on Friday night before they take on Italy in London next Tuesday.
