Bukayo Saka Set to Bolster England's World Cup Bid as They Prepare for Pivotal Ghana Clash
England's Bukayo Saka trained on Sunday ahead of the team's World Cup clash with Ghana on Tuesday. Saka has been managing an Achilles injury that disrupted his domestic campaign with Arsenal, participating in an individual programme on Saturday.
