Bukayo Saka has left the England camp and returned to Arsenal for further assessments after picking up an injury in the defeat to Greece.

The Gunners winger hobbled off in the 2-1 defeat at Wembley on Thursday and will not be part of the squad that will travel to Finland.

After the game, interim England boss Lee Carsley said: “He’s been assessed but in the build-up to the first goal you could see he’d felt something in his leg.”

Saka will now undergo tests before determining whether he can face Bournemouth next Saturday.

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has also withdrawn from the squad because of a personal commitment.

Jones was added late to the squad which faced Greece and was an unused substitute in the game.

Harry Kane and Jack Grealish have both trained ahead of England’s game against Finland, having missed the defeat to Greece through injury.
