Mikel Arteta Provides Bleak Update on Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice Injuries

Following their forced exits during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a concerning update on Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice.

Saka and Rice asked for replacements during the game since they couldn’t play the entire ninety minutes. Given that both players are part of Lee Carsley’s team for England’s forthcoming Nations League games, their injuries have raised concerns. These concerns were exacerbated by Arteta’s post-match remarks, in which he acknowledged: “They don’t look very good.”

Effects on England

Since England depends on Saka and Rice’s contributions in crucial games, their possible absence might be a major blow. Their eligibility to compete in the next international games will be decided after additional evaluation.
