William Saliba’s Injury Before City Match…
Arsenal fans are biting their nails, making dentists everywhere very happy, as reports confirm William Saliba won’t play against Manchester City! The French defender, who accidentally discovered a new way to practice ankle acrobatics during his warm-up, had to come off just moments into the match against Liverpool. Mikel Arteta is scratching his head – not like a monkey at a typewriter but almost – wondering how to patch things up before Nottingham Forest, Champions League, and a mind-boggling clash with Pep Guardiola’s team.
L’Equipe now says Saliba might miss three to four weeks, evoking a sigh from fans louder than a concert of ten thousand bagpipe players. This means he might only make an appearance when Arsenal travels to Newcastle or against Olympiacos. With Manchester City’s side three points behind and thirstier for victory than a camel sprinting towards an oasis, Pep Guardiola is sharpening his game plan. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s fans are encouraged to send their best wishes or maybe even some bubble wrap for Saliba’s recovery!
