Arsenal centre-back William Saliba is expected to be out for three to four weeks due to an ankle injury.
Arsenal’s French defender William Saliba has been sidelined with an ankle injury, which he picked up during the warm-up before the Premier League match against Liverpool.
The 24-year-old was forced to throw in the towel after just a couple of minutes into the game at Anfield. As a result, Saliba has been omitted from the France squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Saliba’s absence will be a significant blow to Arsenal’s defense, but the team has shown depth in this area. New signing Cristhian Mosquera has already proven himself in Saliba’s absence, impressing with his performance against Liverpool. Other options like Ben White and Piero Hincapie could also fill the gap.
The Gunners have a packed schedule ahead, with crucial matches against top teams. Saliba’s return will be crucial in maintaining Arsenal’s momentum, especially with the team’s title aspirations.
Mikel Arteta will need to carefully manage Saliba’s recovery to ensure he’s fit for the match against Newcastle United on September 28.
In the meantime, Arsenal fans will be keeping a close eye on Saliba’s progress, hoping for a speedy recovery.
