Arsenal receive bad injury news on defender
Arsenal have received bad injury news on William Saliba ahead of the Southampton game on Friday night.
The Gunners have dropped points in their last two Premier League matches and they need a big response tomorrow.
Ahead of the game, there is no positive update over Saliba, who continues to be sidelined with a back problem.
The Frenchman sustained the setback against Sporting last month and he has yet to return to first-team training.
In his absence, the Gunners have dropped points in back-to-back games and face a huge test against the Saints.
The Gunners need maximum points from the encounter to keep the pressure on City ahead of the Etihad clash.
Arsenal are currently four points ahead of the Cityzens, who have a game in hand. City won't be in action this weekend.
Pep Guardiola's side are scheduled to face Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final at the Wembley Stadium.
Hence, Arsenal can go seven points clear with a victory over the Saints.
