Arsenal entered their London derby against Chelsea without one of their most important players, as William Saliba missed the match with what the club described as a knock in training.
The absence surprised supporters because Saliba had played the full 90 minutes in the win over Bayern Munich earlier in the week. He travelled with the squad to Stamford Bridge and was seen leaving with the team after the 1-1 draw. The development added concern for a defensive unit already stretched by injuries. Details about the issue were reported by NBC Sports.
