Arsenal receive bad news ahead of their match against Liverpool

Arsenal’s title hopes have taken a hit as William Saliba is set to miss their crucial match against Liverpool on Sunday as per The Sun. The French international defender has been struggling with a back injury and has been unable to train for the past two weeks.

Saliba had started 27 games for the Gunners this season before he got injured in Arsenal’s loss to Sporting Lisbon. His absence will be a major blow for Mikel Arteta’s side, who are currently leading the Premier League table with 72 points after 29 games.

Arsenal are in a title race and are closely followed by second-placed Manchester City, who have 64 points plus a game in hand. The Gunners have been in impressive form this season, winning 22 of their 29 league matches so far.

However, their record at Anfield Stadium is not good. Arsenal have failed to win at Liverpool’s home ground for the past 11 years and will be hoping to end that run on Sunday. But without Saliba, it will be a tough task for Arteta’s side.

The young defender has shown his potential and has impressed with his performances this season. He is seen as one of the brightest prospects in European football and is expected to have a bright future ahead of him.

Arsenal fans will be hoping that Saliba recovers soon and returns to action as soon as possible. His absence on Sunday will be felt but Arteta will be hoping that his team can still get a positive result against Liverpool.
