Arsenal will continue to be without defender William Saliba for this weekend's Premier League clash with West Ham United, Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
The Frenchman has missed the last three games after suffering a back injury in the Europa League exit to Sporting CP several weeks ago. In the three games in his absence, the Gunners have failed to keep a single clean sheet against Crystal Palace, Leeds and Liverpool.
After reports that the 22-year-old was nowhere to be seen in Tuesday's open training session, Arteta confirmed on Friday that Saliba remains unavailable for selection. "William [Saliba] is still not available," the Gunners boss said.
