Bukayo Saka suffered a right leg injury during England's unexpected 2-1 UEFA Nations League defeat to Greece at Wembley on Thursday, CBC Sport reported. The Arsenal forward was withdrawn in the 51st minute, replaced by Chelsea's Noni Madueke, after showing signs of discomfort and holding his leg following Greece's opening goal. Interim coach Lee Carsley confirmed, "He’s being assessed. He felt something in his leg."

England faced Greece without key players Harry Kane and Jack Grealish, though both are expected to be ready for their next match against Finland. The implications of Saka's potential hamstring injury extend to the Premier League, where he has contributed significantly with two goals and seven assists this season. The loss at Wembley marks the first time since 1981 that England has suffered three home defeats in one calendar year, highlighting the challenges faced during the transition after Gareth Southgate's tenure.

Saka's absence could be significant for Arsenal, who are already missing captain Martin Odegaard due to an ankle injury sustained while on international duty with Norway. Arsenal's next fixture is against Bournemouth on October 19, followed by a crucial matchup against Liverpool. The depth of the team will be tested if both Saka and Odegaard are sidelined for an extended period.
