Mikel Arteta has hit back at anyone questioning Bukayo Saka's commitment to England by insisting he would "send an MRI scan" to prove the winger was injured during this month's international break.
Saka was one of 10 withdrawals during England's recent UEFA Nations League double header against Greece and Republic of Ireland, a situation which captain Harry Kane described as "disappointing" before suggesting that "it's a tough period of the season and maybe that's been taken advantage of a little bit."
Saka was unable to complete Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Chelsea prior to the international break due to a thigh problem but capped a fine individual performance as he opened the scoring in Saturday's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Emirates Stadium.
