Arsenal have dealt a huge blow in their title ambitions this season, as 'Starboy' Bukayo Saka has returned from England national team's camp amidst injury concerns. The English forward sustained an injury during a training session and his injury are an alarming concern for Gunners, as Mikel Arteta's side still have Manchester City to play, which will certainly make title scene clear, as Arsenal are in a three-horse title race with Manchester City and Liverpool, and as per the current scenario, the title race is one for the ages and is most likely going down to the wire (the last matchday).

"Bukayo Saka has left the England camp and returned to his club for continued rehabilitation. The Arsenal forward reported to St George's Park with an injury and has been unable to participate in training. No further replacements are planned as a 25-man England squad continue their preparation for the forthcoming internationals with Brazil and Belgium," said Football Association (FA) in an official statement.

Bukayo Saka will, therefore, be absent for England's marquee friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, as Euro 2020 runners-up are gearing up for upcoming Euro 2024, and this time, given the form of their players and the depth in the squad, England are amongst the hot favourites and would be willing to avoid any major injury concerns, as they are already carrying a long list of major players that are on the injury list and are sidelined for a certain time period.

As reported by Sky Sports, the players that are currently on the sidelines are as follows:

• Bukayo Saka
• Nick Pope
• Kieran Trippier
• Luke Shaw
• Ben Chilwell
• Reece James
• Harry Maguire 
• Marc Guehi
• Levi Colwill
• Tyrone Mings
• Trent Alexander-Arnold
• Jack Grealish
• Callum Wilson
• Harry Kane
