Arsenal boss Arteta insists Saka not joining up with England

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists Bukayo Saka will not join England's squad this week.

Saka sat out Sunday's win against Manchester City with a hamstring injury. However, he was named in England's squad by coach Gareth Southgate.

"No, he will not make it," said Arteta after Sunday's game. "He has not trained for a single session."

Arteta added: "He is not available to play football at the moment."

Sunday marked the first time Saka had not played for Arsenal in 87 Premier League games.
