"No, it's the other one. We thought the same after the (Chelsea) game. He wasn't comfortable to finish the game, and after that, he didn't have a good feeling. So let's see if he recovers quickly."
"William Saliba's ankle has been an issue for several months. The former Saint-Etienne man suffered an injury during warm-up against Liverpool at Anfield at the start of the season, and he has had problems since."
"Saliba is obviously a key part of the squad, but Arteta can afford to rest him for a few games. The North Londoners face League One side Mansfield Town on Saturday, and then have a Champions League clash."
William Saliba, one of the world's best defenders and a regular starter for Arsenal, has been sidelined multiple times this season with injuries and illness, missing nine games. He initially suffered an ankle injury during warm-up against Liverpool at the start of the season, which continued to trouble him through January despite playing regularly. Manager Mikel Arteta has now confirmed a new ankle problem on Saliba's other leg following discomfort during the Chelsea match. Saliba is considered a major doubt for the upcoming FA Cup fixture against Mansfield Town on Saturday. Given Arsenal's demanding schedule in the business end of the season, Arteta could afford to rest the key defender for several games.
