Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that William Saliba is doubtful for the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea on the road tomorrow.
The Gunners travel to Stamford Bridge for the opening leg of the League Cup semi-final. Ahead of the clash, they are expected to be without several first-team stars.
Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori, Cristian Mosquera and Max Dowman are sidelined with injuries and Arteta has now revealed an untimely blow for two more players.
The Spaniard said that Saliba and Leandro Trossard are doubtful. The former's absence would be a huge blow. He was absent for the league game at Chelsea earlier this term.
If he is sidelined, Jurrien Timber could partner Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence. Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly are expected to line up at right and left-back again.
Regardless of Trossard's issue, Gabriel Martinelli is widely expected to start on the left wing following his maiden Gunners hat-trick versus Portsmouth in the FA Cup third round.
