Arsenal legend, Patrick Vieira, has insisted that his former club started losing games and conceding goals after losing one key player, William Saliba.
Saliba has played a major part in Arsenal’s success this season, making his name as one of the best defenders in the Premier League this season.
The Frenchman is currently injured and has missed Arsenal’s last five matches.
“Losing Saliba has been a big one for them because he was giving them this kind of physical presence,” Vieira told Sky Sports.
“Against Manchester City, against Erling Haaland, it was really difficult for the two centre-backs and losing [William Saliba] was the start of Arsenal losing games and conceding goals.”
Saliba is also expected to miss Arsenal’s next Premier League game against Newcastle this weekend.
