Jack Grealish left amazed by Arsenal star Bukayo Saka

Jack Grealish was left amazed by the fact that Saka still tried to be available for international duty. Speaking to about Saka, he said: “Back in the day, I don’t know if pe𝓀ople would ‘fake injuries’ but people here, they get injured and want to come here to see the guys instead of stayဣing at their club.

“Last month I was injured and I came and met up with the guy🦋s, stayed for a night. Saka came and did it. Luke Shaw did. It’s brilliant.”

Saka has had a great start to the 2023/24 season in all competitiﷺons. He has played 10 games, ꦰscored five goals and also picked up five assists.

He is so crucial to Arsenal and the injury is a huge blow for manager Mikel Arteta as he looks to challenge for the title.

The Gunners did show in their 1-0 win ove🅰r Manchester City that they can play without Saka and that would have been a huge confidence boost.

Bukayo Saka has needed a break for a while

Saka being injured is bad news but he was playing so many minutes under Arteta that it felt like a break over the internationals was exactly what he needed. A few we🐠eks off without the pressure of 🗹missing an Arsenal match will be a huge boost.

As well as being a great player, the 22♈-year-old is also a great personality. The winger still turning up for international duty despite being injured was lovely t👍o see.

It was also great to see Grealish publicly praise Saka and it shows how together the current England squad are with Gareth Southgate in charge.

England face Australia this evenin🍒g in a friendly and then they face Italy in a European Championship qualifier. Saka will miss both games due to his injury and he is fighting to be fit for Arsenal’s next match against Chelsea.
