Arsenal Loses a Key Defender
For a couple of weeks, Arsenal will have to manage without William Saliba—arguably their best defender. He has sustained a thigh injury, and doctors are adamant about sidelining him for the next few matches. He picked up a minor injury during the 22nd round of the Premier League match against Aston Villa (2-2).

As a result, Saliba will definitely miss the UEFA Champions League games against Dinamo Zagreb and Girona, as well as the Premier League match against Wolverhampton this coming weekend. He might be ready for the crucial match against Manchester City on February 2, but that is uncertain. It has been reported that Saliba will undergo additional medical examinations in the coming days to assess the severity of the injury and clarify the recovery timeline.
