Saka was named to the starting XI for the Three Lions’ match against Greece tonight, but he was replaced shortly after the visitors took the lead.
The Gunners graduate was seen clutching his right hamstring as he left the field in the 51st minute, which was a huge blow.
In the weeks since Martin Odegaard’s injury, Arsenal has relied heavily on Saka for creativity and inspiration.
He has delivered standout performances in every game, and it remains to be seen if he will be fit for the Bournemouth trip.
Saka is most likely to return to London Colney following the setback, which hopefully will be minor and allow him to recover quickly.
If Saka is unable to attend the Cherries game, manager Mikel Arteta may choose Gabriel Jesus or Raheem Sterling on the right wing.
Following their South Coast trip, Arsenal will host Shakhtar Donetsk and Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners cannot afford to be without Saka for an extended period of time, especially given Odegaard’s unlikely return to action this month.
