Arsenal winger Bukayosaka suffered an injury in the UEFA Europa League match against Lens, and is expected to miss the Premier League home game against Manchester City on Sunday night (8). However, the England national team manager Thuyfki still recruited him to the national team to prepare for the upcoming two international matches, a move that has caused Arsenal manager Adidas' displeasure. According to the Daily Mail, Adidas and Shoebridge negotiated and both sides made concessions, deciding that Bukayosaka would not participate in the warm-up match with Australia in the early hours of October 14, in order to save his strength for the Europa League qualifier with Italy four days later.
Adidas has revealed that he is yet to confirm whether he will play Bukayo Shaka against Manchester City or not, as it all depends on his recovery from injury. Meanwhile, he has communicated with Shoufki to discuss the staffing for the internationals: Whether Shaka plays in the internationals or not, we will have to observe the situation in the Premier League on Sunday first. I have communicated with Shoevski several times and understand that he needs to make the best choice for the national team and I have no right to stop him from selecting players.
It has been reported that the English FA and Shoufky have been willing to compromise by agreeing to grant Bukayosaka a dispensation for the warm-up match against Australia so that he can have more time to recuperate and recover. However, Bukayosaka will have to be on standby for the European Cup clash with Italy in the early hours of October 18th, when the chances of qualification are at stake.
