While there was concern behind the scenes at Arsenal about the niggle, they deemed him fit enough to start regularly during their end-of-season run-in.It is understood that Saka's ongoing Achilles issue has not deteriorated since the climax of the domestic campaign, when his side won their first Premier League title in 22 years.Related topicsFootballEngland Men's Football TeamFIFA World Cup 2026https://www.bbc.com/sport/extra/fm77g492yy/england-2026-world-cup-squad-guideMore on this storyWorld Cup fixtures and group standingsHow to watch the World Cup on the BBCPublished6 JuneEverything you need to know about the World CupPublished1 April
