Arsenal duo William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko will miss the rest of season due to respective injuries.
That is according to The Athletic, who have reported that despite the blow, neither Gunners defender requires surgery. Saliba has missed the last two months of action due to a lower back issue, with Mikel Arteta's side struggling defensively in his absence.
Rob Holding had replaced the French international in the starting line-up, with the north Londoners conceding 13 times in six fixtures before he was displaced by January signing Jakub Kiwior in each of the last two Premier League outings. Kiwior has performed admirably in those two matches, a 3-1 win over Chelsea and a 2-0 victory away to Newcastle United.
