England Star Saka Fit for World Cup

By Staff, Agencies

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta is confident that Bukayo Saka will feature for England at the 2022 World Cup, despite sustaining a leg injury against Nottingham Forest.

When asked whether Saka will miss the eagerly-anticipated competition, as per The Guardian, he replied: “Hopefully not.”

“It was a bad kick right from the beginning and he was limping. But I didn’t see anything further than that, so let’s see how he is in the next couple of days. I think he got kicked a few times,” he continued.

England will begin the World Cup campaign on November 21 against Iran, in a game that Saka will hope to make his mark in.

The group also features the US and fierce rival Wales.

And after missing a penalty in the European Championships final, Saka is desperate to redeem himself.
