Arsenal’s William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko will miss the remainder of the season due to injuries. Saliba has been absent for the past two months due to a lower back issue, which has led to Arsenal’s defense struggling in his absence. In his place, Jakub Kiwior has been playing well, contributing to wins against Chelsea and Newcastle United.
Full-back Zinchenko was forced off the pitch during Sunday’s game against Newcastle due to a calf problem. Arsenal only have three more matches to play this season against Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Wolves.
Kieran Tierney is expected to fill in for Zinchenko, who has struggled to find consistent playing time under Mikel Arteta. Tierney has been linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, with Newcastle and Aston Villa reportedly monitoring his situation. Neither Saliba nor Zinchenko require surgery for their injuries.
