Bukayo Saka confirms England vs France World Cup penalty plan after Euro final heartbreak

Bukayo Saka has indicated that he would be more than happy to take a penalty for England if needed in their World Cup campaign. The Arsenal star missed the crucial spot-kick against Italy in the Euro 2020 final but has since become the designated penalty taker for the Gunners.

England set up an enticing quarter final match up with France following their last-16 victory against Senegal on Sunday. Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Saka were on the scoresheet with Gareth Southgate justified in his decision to leave Marcus Rashford on the bench.

Raheem Sterling was also involved in the discussion but the England boss confirmed he had left Qatar following a burglary at his home in England. Surrey Police have since released a statement on the robbery with the Chelsea star leaving the England camp ahead of the fixture with the hope he may return to Qatar later in the tournament.
