Posted : 17 June 2023
Gareth Southgate provided an update on Bukayo Saka's condition following his substitution at half-time against Malta. Saka had played a crucial role in England's opening goal, with his cross leading to a deflection by Malta defender Ferdinando Apap.
The Three Lions went on to secure a comfortable 4-0 victory, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harry Kane, and Callum Wilson also finding the net.
Saka was replaced immediately after the second half began, as he had twisted his ankle during a challenge from a Maltese defender. However, Southgate assured that Saka's injury is not severe and that his substitution was a precautionary measure.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Southgate stated, "He's doing well. We simply didn't want to take any risks with him considering the scoreline."
