Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka will not join up with the England squad for their matches in the next fortnight, says Gunners manager Mikel Arteta.<\/p>\n

Saka missed his side\u2019s 1-0 Premier League win over champions Manchester City on Sunday with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

England face Australia on October 13, before taking on Italy in a European Championship qualifier four days later.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, he will not make it,\u201d said Arteta after Sunday\u2019s game. \u201cHe has not trained for a single session.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he would not disclose the likely length of Saka\u2019s spell on the sidelines, Arteta added: \u201cHe is not available to play football at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saka\u2019s absence on Sunday ended a run of 87 consecutive Premier League games in which Arteta has played the 22-year-old winger.<\/p>\n

He has been struggling with his hamstring in recent weeks, limping off during Arsenal\u2019s 2-1 Champions League loss at Lens on Tuesday, and being withdrawn in last weekend\u2019s victory at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

England manager Gareth Southgate said last Thursday he would take no risks with Saka, despite England being able to qualify for next summer\u2019s European Championship during this international break.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got that responsibility of qualifying for the country, but I\u2019ve been a player. I\u2019ve never ever taken a risk on a player\u2019s physical wellbeing, and nor would I,\u201d said Southgate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (Premier League clubs) have trust in us that we make decisions that are right for the long term whenever we can.\u201d<\/p>\n
