Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed defender William Saliba suffered a thigh injury and was substituted during Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League win over Newcastle.

    The Gunners have secured their place in next season’s Champions League after picking up three points in their last game. But they were forced to lose Saliba, who was substituted at half-time. Arteta revealed that the French international suffered a muscular injury. And that a detailed examination is needed to determine the severity of the injury.

    “I think in one of his โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที last actions when he came out he felt something in his hamstring. So we’ll have to scan and see what it’s like,” Arteta said.

    Asked how serious it was, Arteta said: “I don’t know until we have a scan. Sorry, I really don’t know.”

Arsenal have their final game of the season next week when they travel to Southampton.

Arteta’s side will head there with Champions League football already secured after beating Newcastle.

“We had a dream, I said it out there, it was to deliver a big trophy this season for our people. And because I think that the team deserves it. As well as the journey that we’ve been together in the last three or four years,” said Arteta.

“We haven’t achieved that, and there are a lot of factors and a lot of situations that we’ve been through for the last nine and a half months, for that not happening.

“But make sure that we’re still valid. A lot of incredible things this club is doing, the team is doing, the players are doing, the way we are competing, and the consistency that we are showing.

“Because if we are not able to see that, that’s a really, really dangerous thing to do.

“Just expecting something, and playing if we don’t, that’s a really dangerous thing.

“And I know they don’t want us there, where we are now, knocking on the door every year, and make sure that we can see clarity, we stay very disciplined and very clear and ambitious with what we want to do in the summer.”
