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."We have a training session this afternoon.

He did some bits yesterday, let's see if he can make it on time."Another injury concern is Kai Havertz after the forward missed Germany's Nations League matches against Bosnia and the Netherlands due to a knee problem.
