"William Saliba was substituted just five minutes into Arsenal's clash with Liverpool, having picked up an ankle injury in the warm-up. Arsenal went on to endure a miserable afternoon at Anfield, losing the game 1-0 and surrendering their perfect start to the Premier League season just before the international break. The Gunners, who will be keen not to fall further behind their title challengers by suffering back-to-back defeats, have a string of tricky-looking fixtures coming up this month against Nottingham Forest, Athletic Club and Manchester City."
"Arsenal will be looking to get back to winning ways with a victory over Nottingham Forest this weekend, who themselves welcome new manager, and former Tottenham Hotspur chief, Ange Postecoglou to the dugout for the very first time. It appears, however, as though the game will come too soon for Saliba, who withdrew from the France team for their round of international fixtures as a result of his knock. How long is William Saliba set to be out for? And it looks as though the news might get worse for Arsenal, who, according to French outlet L'Equipe, could lose the influential centre-back for up to four weeks."
