The latest injury report for Arsenal F.C. brings bad news for fans, as star center-back William Saliba is now projected to miss another three to four weeks.
The setback, an ankle injury sustained in the defeat to Liverpool, was apparently picked up in a surprising fashion: during the pre-match warm-up, a fact revealed by manager Mikel Arteta after the game. The French newspaper L’Équipe reports that William Saliba’s injury ruled him out of the recent international break and will likely keep him from joining the France squad in October.
This extended absence is a major concern for the Gunners, who face a demanding schedule of seven games in various competitions over the coming weeks, with crucial encounters against Athletic Bilbao, Manchester City, and Newcastle on the horizon.
