Arsenal Star Saka Leaves England Camp (See Why)

Bukayo Saka has left the England camp after testing positive for COVID-19.
Saka trained with his international teammates on Tuesday, but had been isolated from the rest of the squad since Wednesday.

The Arsenal youngster has now returned home.

He tweeted:

“I am gutted to withdraw from @England camp but I have tested positive for COVID-19 and I will be isolating until I am negative.

“I’ll be supporting the boys from home this weekend and I can’t wait to be back doing what I love soon.”

England manager, Gareth Southgate, who has seen a few withdrawals from his initial 25-man squad, will not call up a replacement for Saka.

Saka is the sixth player to withdraw from the squad after Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James, Tammy Abraham and Aaron Ramsdale.
