SAKA: I WILL BOUNCE BACK

BUKAYO SAKA has vowed to bounce back from his penalty heartache and help England to glory.

The Arsenal teen missed his spot-kick in the shootout, along with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, in the Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy.

Saka (inset), 19, said: “There are no words to tell you how disappointed I was with the result and my penalty. I really believed we would win this for you.

“I’m sorry we couldn’t bring it home for you this year, but I promise we will give everything we’ve got to make sure this generation knows how it feels to win.

“It was an honour to be part of an England squad that leads by example. They are brothers for life.” Saka, who said he knew instantly that he would be targeted by racist abuse after his miss, says he won’t be broken by the vicious online trolls. He added: “I knew instantly the kind of hate that I was about to receive and that is a sad reality.”
