England Worried Over Saka’s Achilles Issue Ahead of World Cup Opener

1 / 3

England enter their World Cup opener with concern over Bukayo Saka’s Achilles injury. Manager Gareth Southgate confirmed that Saka joined the squad late and has been unable to train fully. Arsenal managed his fitness carefully at the end of the season, allowing him to play through discomfort and help secure their title. Southgate says Saka is available for the match but still needs monitoring. While teammates Declan Rice, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze are fully fit after extended breaks, Saka requires gradual reintroduction to full sessions.
