There is absolutely no need for Bukayo Saka to play in these two England Euro Qualifiers. With all due respect to both Malta and North Macedonia, the Three Lions should be winning these games relatively comfortably.
Granted North Macedonia have a scalp over Italy as recently as last year however, the England squad has the depth and firepower available to deal with the challenges of these two fixtures. It surely is a greater necessity to protect the players in the group, such as Saka, no, particularly Saka, from serious injury through burnout.
Should Saka take part in the matches for England, the likelihood is that the newly renewed Arsenal starlet will take his minutes for the season over 5000. His participation in nine different competitions from preseason friendlies to the World Cup and Europa League, in addition to the English domestic league and cup matches, has seen an evident dip in form come the end of the campaign.
