Why Arsenal star Bukayo Saka won't play in England clash against Andorra as another Three Lions star exits Thomas Tuchel's camp

<p>Saka is not part of the England matchday squad that will face Andorra on Friday evening. The game at RCDE Stadium in Barcelona will also be played without Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins and Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher. Injury means Watkins has withdrawn from the camp altogether to return home. Saka and Gallagher remain with the group for now.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Saka's absence is most likely linked to his fitness after England manager Thomas Tuchel explained on Friday that the Arsenal star has only completed a single training session during the week. He had earlier missed three months of the club season after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bukayo-saka-shows-off-hamstring-surgery-scar-arsenal-fitness-update-injured-winger-significant-stride-forward-recovery/bltec686703ed882f4b" target="_blank">undergoing hamstring surgery</a> in December, although did return to play the whole of April and May for the Gunners.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saka is yet to play for Tuchel since the ex-Chelsea boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-tuchel-work-key-decisions-new-england-manager-ahead-world-cup-qualifiers/blt524f8bf6b3e39a3f" target="_blank">began work with England in January</a>, having been sidelined for the previous international break in March.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Saka hasn't yet been ruled out of England's follow-up game against Senegal on June 10, a friendly taking place at Nottingham Forest's City Ground. But, as a result of sitting out the Andorra clash and his lack of training since reporting for international duty, he will be a major doubt to feature.</p>
