William Saliba is likely to miss Arsenal’s crucial Manchester City clash as he is yet to fully recover from the injury that he suffered in March.
The French defender has not played for Arsenal since suffering a back injury in their Europa League quarter-final clash against Sporting CP in March. He has missed Arsenal’s last five matches and in all probability will sit out in the club’s crucial Premier League fixture against Manchester City on April 26, according to The Athletic.
Saliba’s absence could prove to be a huge blow to Arsenal’s title aspirations this season. Out of the five games that the defender has missed thus far, the Gunners have managed to win only two while three matches ended in draws.
The Gunners have conceded nine goals in the last three Premier League games. They still have a five-point lead at the top, but Manchester City have played two games fewer.
