Arsenal's William Saliba Faces Extended Injury Layoff; Doubtful for Key Fixtures

Arsenal's William Saliba faces a three to four-week injury layoff due to an ankle injury sustained in the Liverpool defeat. The French defender, who has already missed international duty, is unlikely to feature for Arsenal in October.

Saliba's absence poses a challenge for Arsenal, with a packed schedule including Premier League, Champions League, and Carabao Cup fixtures. Manager Arteta revealed Saliba played through the injury against Liverpool.

Arsenal is also dealing with injuries to Christian Nørgaard and Ben White, while Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined. Saliba, who joined Arsenal in 2019, faces a tough recovery period amidst crucial upcoming matches.
