According to sources, one of Arsenal’s players needed additional evaluation for a muscular ailment while on international duty, giving them yet another serious injury concern.
After captain Martin Odegaard was injured during the previous series of international matches, Bukayo Saka suffered an injury with England, causing the Gunners to undergo a horrible international break.
More bad news has arrived for manager Mikel Arteta, who is worried about the health of a crucial first-team player who could lead to a selection problem at the Emirates.
After seeing an improvement in form, Gabriel Martinelli was summoned back to the Brazil national team and is currently overseas on international duty. However, he is currently facing a fitness concern.
The 23-year-old has started five Premier League games this season and has two goals and two assists in Arsenal’s previous five outings.
William Saliba has been mocked by fans for his ‘awful’ display against Belgium, during which he gave away a penalty for a clumsy foul on Lois Openda
Arsenal fans were quick to use the error as a reason why Real Madrid should not sign him
One Chelsea supporter commented, “I’ve seen enough; don’t ever compare Saliba to (Levi) Cowill again.”
“William Saliba has mastered the art of looking busy on a football pitch,” another person commented. I can see through it, but the analytics folks and casuals love it.He is not exceptional in any way; in fact, he is more like Johnny Evans than Van Dijk or Ruben Dias.
On his best day, a 6/10. Excessive.
Many Arsenal supporters were eager to use the gaffe as an opportunity to warn Real Madrid, who are rumored to have made him their top summer target, to back off.
“I hope Real Madrid is watching,” one person stated. When Gabriel isn’t there to support him, William Saliba isn’t quite as good as he seems.
“The supporters of Arsenal have greatly overrated him; what you really want is (Cristian) Romero of Tottenham.”
Without a doubt. Insufficiently excellent for Real Madrid. Looks excellent just due of the Arsenal system. Another remarked, “Madrid should definitely target (Micky) van de Ven instead,” directing Los Blancos towards the Spurs defense.
On the other hand, others were shocked by the degree of disrespect shown to one of the Premier League’s most reliable center backs.
Real Madrid have reportedly made the 23-year-old their top target for the summer
“So, despite the excellent defensive work he’s been doing, you only singled out one incident to rule him out as a Real Madrid target?”
One person said, “It is so unfair.”
“Hahahahahahahahaha.” Another wrote, “Apparently he’s not all he’s cracked up to be after making one bad tackle.”
Saliba signed an extension last year, so his deal at the Emirates Stadium runs until June 2027.
Arsenal, who started in all 38 of their Premier League games the previous season, is therefore well-positioned to handle any unwelcome interest in their star center-back.
Regarding Madrid’s interest in the French international, they are reportedly indifferent.
