Arsenal's star defender, William Saliba, is currently dealing with a hamstring strain that has put him out of commission for the next two weeks. This means he may not be able to play in Arsenal's upcoming match against Manchester City, which is causing some concern for coach Mikel Arteta.
Unfortunately, Saliba was unable to play in Saturday's game against Aston Villa, leaving Arteta "very worried" about his absence. According to L'Equipe, Saliba's hamstring strain will keep him out of action for the next two weeks, making him a doubtful player for the highly anticipated clash against Manchester City on February 2nd.
This news is a major setback for Arsenal's quest to win the Premier League title for the first time in 21 years. Saliba's presence on the team has been crucial, especially in the heart of their defense. His absence will also be felt in their final two Champions League games against Dinamo Zagreb and Girona, as well as their Premier League match against Wolves.
Meanwhile, Manchester City has been on a winning streak, with their latest victory being a 6-0 thrashing of Ipswich Town on Sunday. This puts them just six points behind Arsenal in the table. Former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes that City cannot be underestimated in the title race, especially after their recent win.
Schwarzer stated that City's initial goal is to secure the second spot in the table, which is definitely within their reach. He also emphasized that despite their struggles earlier in the season, City should not be ruled out of the title race just yet. With their strength, ability, and experience, they still have a chance to finish in the top two.
However, he also pointed out that City would need to defeat Liverpool in their upcoming match, and hope for Liverpool to lose more games in order to have a chance at the title. Nevertheless, Schwarzer believes that City's top-class team can find their way back to top form and continue to be a formidable opponent in the league.
