The 21-year-old has been added to the team by manager Gareth Southgate for their forthcoming qualifying for the European Championships.
As soon as he arrived at St. George's Park this week for international duty, Bukayo Saka was the focus of jokes from his England teammates.
As you remember, Saka garnered media attention last week after speaking with reality star Kim Kardashian through FaceTime.
On Thursday, Kardashian made an unexpected appearance at the Emirates Stadium to see Arsenal play in the Europa League with Saint and a group of pals.
The 42-year-old was seen beaming as she captured Saka's penalty shot in the shootout, which Sporting CP won 5-4 to eliminate the Arsenals from the round of 16.
Following the game, Sansa was seen chatting with Jim Kardashian and her son Saint, who had come to the Emirates stadium to witness the game.
When reporting for duty with England, the 21-year-old was forced to endure jokes from Manchester United's Luke Shaw and West Ham United's Declan Rice.
"Bruv, he's been FaceTiming Kim Kardashian. Declan Rice stated upon bringing Bukayo Saka to the England camp, "He doesn't want us anymore."
Saka took it in jest, smiling as he fired back: "Do you want me to say hello to you or not?"
He eventually hugged it out with Rice, who welcomed him: "It's good to see you, my friend."
And Saka also shared an embrace with a grinning Shaw, who was enjoying the banter and said: "Hello, my friend."
On Thursday in Naples, England will begin its Euro 2024 qualifying campaign against its fiercest Group C adversary, Italy.
Then, on Sunday, Gareth Southgate's team will play host to Ukraine at Wembley Stadium in an effort to recover from their heartbreaking World Cup quarterfinal loss.
