Medical teams 'have managed me amazingly' - Saka

[Getty Images] Bukayo Saka says winning the Premier League with Arsenal has given him "even more hunger" to achieve similar success with England at the World Cup. The 24-year-old played 31 times as the Gunners ended their 22-year wait for a league title, and is expected to start for the Three Lions in Wednesday's Group L opener against Croatia. "When you have that success and you taste it, you want to do it again," he told media. "It can go two ways but when I speak for myself, you know, I'd say it's definitely made me want to do it again and come into this tournament with even more hunger." Saka only started 25 Premier League matches across the campaign and had his minutes managed as he recovered from hip and Achilles issues during the run-in. However, the winger believes this has given him a better chance of performing during the World Cup. "I don't want to say anything that goes against the manager," he added. "What I would say is that between Mikel [Arteta] and the Arsenal medical team and Thomas [Tuchel] and the England medical team, since March they have managed me amazingly and helped me get back on the pitch and do what I can for the team. "I'm feeling better than I have felt in the last few months and I'm ready to go. I'm feeling a lot better than I did in March and I'm ready to go so I'm excited." If Saka does need a rest during the tournament he will likely be replaced on the right wing by Gunners team-mate Noni Madueke, who he was full of praise for. "It's quite unique, two players that play in the same position to be as close as we are," he added when asked about the dynamic between the pair. "I don't really know how it works but it works. Noni is like my brother on and off the pitch. We push each other and we speak every day. We have that mutual respect for each other and we want each other to do well. The good thing is that we play on the same team and that if one of us is doing well it is good for the other."
