Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka‘s injury is not serious and they are hopeful he will be available for their Premier League trip to Bournemouth on Saturday after picking up a problem on England duty, manager Mikel Arteta has said.
The 23-year-old was forced off during England’s shock 2-1 loss to Greece in the Nations League at Wembley last week with a slight hamstring issue. Saka returned to Arsenal for further assessment, missing England’s 3-1 win away to Finland.

Saka has scored two goals and provided seven assists in seven Premier League appearances for Arsenal this season.
“(Saka) is not a serious injury,” Arteta told reporters on Friday. “He is evolving really well. He has done a few things in the last two days. He wasn’t fit enough to play with the national team in the second game, but we are hopeful.”
