Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has expressed his readiness to gamble with his fitness as he prepares for England's World Cup opener against Croatia. Despite carrying an Achilles injury since March, Saka has managed his game time effectively for both Arsenal and the England national team. He missed several matches for the Gunners but returned to contribute to their Premier League title victory after a 22-year wait. England manager Thomas Tuchel has emphasized the need to manage Saka's fitness carefully, indicating it is unlikely he will play every minute of the tournament. Saka, however, feels better than he has in months and is eager to take the field. Competing for a starting spot with Arsenal teammate Noni Madueke, Saka highlights their strong bond and mutual respect, which fuels their performances. As he approaches his 50th cap for England, Saka remains committed to delivering for his country, even if it means taking risks with his health.
