Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka came off with a leg injury during England’s 2-1 loss to Greece on Thursday.

Saka was substituted in the 51st minute at Wembley Stadium after he was seen feeling the back of his right leg and stretching it prior to Greece’s opening goal two minutes earlier.

England interim coach Lee Carsley said Saka was “being assessed.”

“In the build-up to the first goal, you could see he felt something in his leg,” Carsley said.

Arsenal lost its captain Martin Odegaard to injury during the last international break and another injury to Saka would add to its problems.

Saka has started the season in fine form with three goals and seven assists in 10 matches across competitions.
