AL-RAYYAN, Qatar — United States goalkeeper Matt Turner said the Americans will need to be wary of Arsenal teammate Bukayo Saka when the US and England square off on Friday.
Saka scored twice in the Three Lions’ 6-2 victory over Iran on Monday and will be aiming to add to his tally as England looks to take full control of Group B.

“I think it’s pretty clear. He’s one of the young stars of world football,” Turner said about Saka. “He’s a top, top player and I think you don’t need me to tell anybody on our team how much of a threat that he poses in the game.
“He’s scoring goals in a variety of ways. He’s really developed, mature. He’s gotten stronger from what I understand. I’ve only worked with him for a few months. I’m looking forward to playing against familiar faces. I think he’s a really, really good player that can change any game that he takes part in.”
