Saka: “I’m feeling great and ready to go”
Arsenal and England winger Bukayo Saka has declared himself fit and ready for the upcoming FIFA World Cup quarter-final against Norway. Saka has been managed carefully throughout the tournament due to an earlier achilles injury.
Why it matters
Saka is a key player for England, and his fitness status is a major talking point for fans and sports analysts ahead of a high-stakes match.
Bukayo Saka is primed for Saturday’s FIFA World Cup quarter-final, as England face Norway at 10pm UK time.
Our right winger has found minutes slightly hard to come by throughout the tournament so far after nursing an achilles injury picked up in March, coming off the bench in games against Croatia, Ghana and DR Congo, although he did play 64 minutes of the Three Lions’ 2-0 victory over Panama, providing an assist for Jude Bellingham’s opening goal of the game.
It was his second assist of the World Cup, after setting up Marcus Rashford against Croatia.
