"It's horrible!" - Ian Wright spots the same thing happening in every Arsenal game this season, he's furious

Arsenal legend Ian Wright is furious about the rough treatment Bukayo Saka receives during matches.

Saka has been in sublime form this season. His four goals and six assists have helped propel Arsenal to the top of the Premier League, two points clear of Manchester City in second.

However, the 21-year-old was forced off against Nottingham Forest 10 days ago, after taking a heavy kick to the ankle.

The substitution initially sparked fear from fans and pundits across the country, who worried that the Arsenal talisman would miss the World Cup.

Thankfully Mikel Arteta’s decision to substitute the player was merely a precaution, and Saka returned to the team just days later.

‘Kicked to bits’

Wright has become increasingly concerned by the treatment Saka receives from opposition players.

The pundit said that it’s a nerve-wracking experience watching the youngster as he’s frequently getting “kicked to bits”.

Meanwhile. Wright claimed that he has only seen a player booked for a mistimed challenge on Saka once this term.

Speaking on Wrighty’s House, the former Arsenal forward said: “We got to talk about Saka. The man is getting kicked to bits man. It’s horrible.

“I’m nervous when he’s playing. You know when you have your best player in the team and when it goes down you’re ‘off’, I’m like that every time.

“There has only been one booking for the challenges there have been on Saka this season!”

Saka for England

The 21-year-old is a shoo-in for Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Qatar, given his performances this term and on the international stage over the past year.

Saka, who was England’s Player of the Year in 2021, will likely be named in the Three Lions’ 26-man squad alongside his Gunners teammates Aaron Ramsdale and Ben White.

England kick off their World Cup campaign against Iran on November 21st, before taking on the US four days later, and Wales on November 29.
