Saka reported for international duty as he linked up with his England teammates, including Declan Rice, who wasted no time to reference the Kim Kardashian incident.

In a video by Bleacher Report that is going viral on social media, Rice is seen greeting Saka before declaring:

"He's been on FaceTime with Kim Kardashian bruv, he doesn't want us anymore."

Saka, who saw the funny side to it, hit back with "Do you want me to say hello to you or not?"

Rice then smiles before finally embracing the Arsenal man.

"It's good to see you my friend." He said.
