Bukayo Saka (7)

There we go, I said he should’ve been off on an extended break instead of these internationals. Now he’s obviously picked up an injury.

Cooked by 23. Not surprised.

It’s an absolute disgrace that after a season this long players also have friendlies and qualifiers to take part in.

If I was a player I’d boycott all international friendlies and any summer club tournaments and I wouldn’t give a shit who said anything

Really doesn’t sound like something to massively worry about

Saka had only completed one full training session during the week, with his omission from the squad to face Andorra likely to be linked to his fitness.

Let’s hope our boy gets through unscathed tonight and then heads off on his holidays for some much needed rest. Hopefully a good 5-6 weeks of r&r for him to see him firing on all cylinders next season.

From Saka’s pre conference - seems like it’s him who informed Tuchel that he is able to get involved in the game.

Saka really needs to take ownership and responsibility here as well. There was no reason for him to risk playing in a meaningless game yesterday.

He admitted he had a small injury toward the end of the season and still didn’t pull out of the International game.

I remember Saka playing in some random cup game early in the season after coming back from injury and when questioned about it Arteta said Saka himself wanted to play as he feels more comfortable having games under him.

In fact, Saka himself has admitted so in a recent interview with Sky Sports. But this is never grabbing the headlines, Arteta running him into the ground does though.

I think this brudda is gonna be cooked by 25. I don’t understand why he’s playing these pointless international games.

So he’s played approximately 300 career games and you feel he only has two seasons (I’m being generous and giving him all of 25 because he’ll be 25 at the beginning of next season) in him?

With the way he gets hacked and selected for the most pointless games, yeah I think his level will unfortunately drop. It kinda already has.

Same thing happened to Martinelli after his injury, was just never the same again.

:facepalm:

Perhaps if he looked up every once in a while it would help him.

Players will never say no to their country. Club fans just need to accept it and move on

Unless there’s a massive fallout, e.g. Ben White

Endearing himself to the Liverpool fans already.
