Arsenal will be forced into a decision on William Saliba’s ongoing back injury after this summer’s World Cup, a report has revealed, with a surgery that would rule him out for the start of next season a possibility.
On the eve of the tournament, it was suggested that Saliba may not be fit enough to even travel to the United States, Canada and Mexico this summer, although manager Didier Deschamps soon played down those concerns and even started Saliba in Monday’s warmup friendly against Northern Ireland.
