William Saliba misses Arsenal vs Brentford due to an illness | OneFootball

Arsenal play Brentford tonight and have been dealt a blow as William Saliba is unavailable to play for Gunners. Luckily for manager Mikel Arteta, the Frenchman is not injured and missed the game due to an illness, according to Hand of Arsenal. The Gunners account and insider is famous for breaking some major news about the Emirates Stadium club and is followed by the likes of Dharmesh Sheth, Charles Watts, Miguel Delaney, Fabrizio Romano and Sami Mokbel on X. They have proven to be a trusted source concerning all things Arsenal, and they have claimed this evening that Saliba is indisposed.

The North London club will miss the French centre-back but will still fancy their chances of returning to the Emirates Stadium with all three points. Cristhian Mosquera has replaced Saliba in the starting XI, getting paired alongside Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence. Arsenal have enough squad depth in their ranks and have managed to cope well despite key injuries this season.

They return to action on Sunday when they host Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and Saliba is expected to be available for selection.
