Bukayo Saka is expected to join the England national team camp ahead of the international break's friendlies and European championship qualifiers, according to reports.

The Arsenal starlet failed to make the matchday squad for the Gunners' 1-0 victory against Manchester City on Sunday, and Mikel Arteta hinted that his absence would extend to Three Lions duties.

But as per the Evening Standard, the FA is believed to think differently, and are set to welcome the 22-year-old at St George's Park this week.

The attacker picked up a knock during Arsenal's midweek Champions League clash against Lens, and was forced off in the first-half.
