Arsenal forward Saka has left the England camp after testing positive for COVID-19.
Bukayo Saka trained with his international teammates on Tuesday but had been isolated from the rest of the squad since Wednesday.
The Arsenal youngster has now returned home.
He tweeted: “I am gutted to withdraw from @England camp but I have tested positive for COVID-19 and I will be isolating until I am negative, The Trumpet gathered.
“I’ll be supporting the boys from home this weekend and I can’t wait to be back doing what I love soon.”
England manager, Gareth Southgate, who has seen a few withdrawals from his initial 25-man squad, will not call up a replacement for Saka.
Saka is the sixth player to withdraw from the squad after Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James, Tammy Abraham and Aaron Ramsdale.
