Arsenal had a bitter blow when the new season took momentum.
William Saliba suffered an ankle sprained during the pre-match warm-up in Anfield before their confrontation with Liverpool, and remarkably started the game, only to lower less than five minutes.
The team reports indicate that the injury will skyrocket the French central defender for three to four weeks, potentially keeping him away until the international break of October.
This excludes it not only from the next qualifiers for the France World Cup against Azerbaijan and Iceland in early October, but also a punitive calendar of seven key games for Arsenal through the Premier League, the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.
William Saliba should miss crucial games for Arsenal
These luminaires include:
Forest of Nottingham (House)
Athletic bilbao (outside) in the Champions League
Manchester City in the Emirates
Carabao Cup with a third round against Port Vale
Newcastle United Away
Olympiacos (house) in Europe
West Ham United at home
Saliba was a defensive pin for Arsenal and France, and its absence comes in the middle of a disturbing crisis of injuries which already includes Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Christian Nørgaard, Ben White and long -term absence Gabriel Jesus.
The artillerymen have depth in defensive positions
Despite the reverse, Arsenal has options. The Summer Summer Crinthian Mosquera, who replaced Saliba against Liverpool, has delivered a compound performance and should appear strongly in his absence.
Piero Hincapié, an arrival of the day limit, and Riccardo Calafiori versatile, which can be in central defense, also reinforces the options.
This start to the start of the season is potentially one of the most important in Arsenal since last season. However, the depth and rotation of Smart Squad could help Arteta manage the reverse.
