Saka is the sixth player to withdraw from the squad after Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James, Tammy Abraham and Aaron Ramsdale were ruled out through injury on Monday.
England have no immediate concerns about other players testing positive for Covid-19 and insist Saka started isolating as soon as he developed flu-like symptoms.
