Jack Grealish has admitted there is one task he’d never trust ‘sloppy’ Arsenal star Bukayo Saka with
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and Manchester City winger Jack Grealish are currently on international duty with England together.
Arsenal currently have several players away on international duty.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping that all of his players who are currently absent from the club return unscathed.
Meanwhile, Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, and Thomas Partey have all remained in North London due to fitness concerns. Fabrizio Romano has shared an injury update on the three stricken Arsenal players.
Bukayo Saka will be enjoying his time with the England squad. The 23-year-old winger is a key figure for the Three Lions, with 42 caps to his name already.
Saka and Declan Rice recently teamed up whilst on England duty, with the Arsenal duo going head to head with Angel Gomes and Anthony Gordon in a training ground challenge.
Jack Grealish rules Bukayo Saka out of job
Jack Grealish is also with the England squad, and will be hoping to feature when Lee Carsley’s side take on Greece and Finland this week.
Grealish recently discussed his international teammates in a video clip shared on the BBC 5 Live Sport X page.
In this interview, the attacker was asked which England player he believes would make the worst babysitter.
Grealish replied: “The worst, I’m going to go Saka… I just reckon he would be sloppy. You know, falling asleep and that.”
Saka’s importance to Arsenal and England
It is vitally important from an Arsenal perspective, and Arteta needs the Hale End academy graduate to remain fit and firing on all cylinders.
Saka has been in sensational form so far this season, and has emerged as a real leader at the Emirates Stadium too, often donning the captain’s armband in Odegaard’s absence.
It is easy to forget that he only turned 23 recently, and is still in the early stages of his career, given that he already has over 200 first team appearances for Arsenal to his name.
Saka has been nicknamed ‘Mr Arsenal’, a moniker that also belonged to iconic former captain Tony Adams. Saka is now well on his way to becoming a club legend at Arsenal himself, just like Adams.
