"Arsenal have been dealt a major injury blow with defender William Saliba sidelined for three to four weeks now. The French international picked up an ankle injury before the Premier League clash against Liverpool, and the 24-year-old will now miss matches against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle United in the Premier League. He is also set to miss the Champions League clash against Athletic Club Bilbao, as per L'Equipe."
"The 24-year-old is undoubtedly the best defender at the club, and his absence will be a huge blow for Arsenal. It will be interesting to see if they can get through the next few weeks without him. Arsenal will be hoping to win the league title this season, and they need to deal with their injury problems. They have managed to improve the squad adequately this summer, and they have enough depth to deal with the absence of the French international."
William Saliba suffered an ankle injury before the Liverpool match and will be sidelined for three to four weeks. He will miss Premier League games against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle United, and the Champions League tie with Athletic Club Bilbao. Saliba is regarded as Arsenal's best defender, so his absence is a significant setback. Arsenal strengthened the squad in the summer and signed Piero Hincapie on deadline day to add depth. The club aims to compete for the league title and faces pressure to deliver a major trophy after heavy summer net spending. Saliba is expected to pursue a swift recovery.
