Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has cast doubt on the availability of William Saliba and Leandro Trossard for the upcoming match against Aston Villa. Arteta stated it is a ‘matter of days’ before the pair, who have missed the last two games, return to action.
The club’s defensive issues are compounded by a new ankle injury to Cristhian Mosquera, ruling him out for weeks. Jurrien Timber is now expected to partner Piero Hincapie in central defence for the crucial Premier League fixture at Villa Park.
