Former Premier League defender Michael Dawson has insisted that Arsenal have a reason for concern with William Saliba's injury. The defender has been out for over a month now and will miss Sunday's Premier League game with West Ham.
Saliba suffered a back injury in the Gunners' Europa League exit to Sporting CP in March. He has missed the games over Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Liverpool and was forced to withdraw from the France national team.
Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that the 22-year-old would miss this weekend's trip to the London Stadium. "William [Saliba] is still not available. He's progressing well and we're hopeful that we'll have him available in the next few weeks. We'll have to see," the Gunners boss said.
