Several Arsenal fans have voiced their concerns over Saka's extremely high usage by Arteta and have spoken up against Saka's inclusion in Southgate's team for the October games.
“He is still being assessed,” Southgate said when asked about the situation.
“They (Arsenal) have got a big game this weekend and then there is another seven days before we play Australia and 10 days before we play Italy. So everyone will monitor everything.”
He continued:
“I can only go via what Mikel (Arteta) has said about the last few games. He is in contention for the weekend so we’ve obviously got a very important qualifier."
