Arsenal ace 'confirms' England's Bukayo Saka decision ahead of Euro 2020 squad announcement

Arsenal wonderkid Bukayo Saka looks set to be included in England's Euro 2020 squad.

That is if Mat Ryan's latest Instagram post is anything to go by as the goalkeeper just may have teased the teenager's plans for the summer tournament.

The Brighton loanee has been active on social media on Monday, swapping messages with his Arsenal teammates as he prepares to take the next step in his career.

And following response from Saka, Ryan may have let the cat out of the bag regarding the England squad for Euro 2020 with Gareth Southgate set to make an announcement on Tuesday.

"Haha, can't wait to be stopping your shots again," Ryan wrote. "Keep doing you bro and good luck for the Euros.

"See you soon brother."

Ryan wishing Saka good luck for the Euros is rather interesting as it may just 'confirm' the winger will be included in the final 26-man squad.

If so, Mikel Arteta has already pleaded with Southgate to take care of Saka amid fears of the 19-year-old could suffer from burnout after making 50 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions this season.

"There is a risk [of burnout],' Arteta said. "The schedule we have had in the last two years has been crazy. But he's handled that situation really, really well.

"I know Gareth. He's brilliant at managing his players well. I've spoken to him about it. We just hope they do the right thing.

"He is very determined to go and help his country on this incredible occasion. He needs to enjoy that because he has earned every right to be there.

"Enjoy it and good things will happen.

"He has played really well on occasions in the back four as a full-back. He's been exceptional for me on the right wing and has been really good as a wing-back as well.

"Having great versatility for him has made him a different player. He's really intelligent and he can pick things up really very quickly.

"And we will mould him into the position we want him to play more and more."
