William Saliba out of Brighton vs Arsenal due to injury
William Saliba has missed Arsenal’s Premier League match against Brighton due to injury.
The 24-year-old scored Arsenal’s opener in their 2-1 win at home to Chelsea last Sunday.
But Mikel Arteta is without the French centre-back for his side’s trip to Brighton on Wednesday night.
Arsenal have confirmed that Saliba misses out after ‘picking up an issue’ in the victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.
Cristhian Mosquera replaces Saliba in central defence, while Arteta makes one other change to his side as Gabriel Martinellistarts ahead of Leandro Trossard.
