England’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel, has confirmed that Bukayo Saka will not be part of the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Andorra.
Saka sustained a knock during the final Premier League game of the season and has been sent back to Arsenal for further treatment .
This decision follows a series of withdrawals from the England squad, including Conor Gallagher, who has also been omitted due to injury concerns.
Tuchel expressed caution regarding the physical demands on his players, especially with the 2026 World Cup in mind, and emphasized the importance of player rotation and careful management.
Saka’s absence is a significant blow to the Three Lions, but it provides an opportunity for other players to step up and showcase their abilities in the upcoming fixtures.
