W. Saliba's season could already be over © ZUMAPRESS com.

One of the most important season matches, London's Arsenal team won't be able to line up with their strongest lineup.

As journalist David Ornstein reports, in Wednesday's Premier League match against Man City, defender William Saliba will not be able to appear on the field due to a back injury.

The 22-year-old Frenchman is still recovering from a back injury, and his return may take a while.

It is reported that W. Saliba will most likely also miss the next week's match against London's Chelsea club.

If the most pessimistic forecasts were to come true, the defender may not play again this season.

W. Saliba is an important player for the Gunners and has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 27 Premier League matches this season.
