Xhaka, Saliba likely to miss Arsenal-Man City clash

Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta has disclosed the chances of Granit Xhaka and William Saliba to miss the match against Manchester City.

The Arsenal manager disclosed this during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

The Gunners are playing Manchester City on Wednesday.

While Xhaka was unavailable for the club’s 3-3 draw with Southampton due to illness, Saliba will not be available for games against Man City and Chelsea.

“There’s not been a real improvement unfortunately on him so we’re still waiting.

“At the moment we don’t have him and we’re preparing for this game without him. Probably the next game [Chelsea] will come too soon as well,” Arteta said.

“Hopefully he will be able to train today. He’s still a doubt,” the Arsenal coach said on Xhaka.

Editor’s Note
In our post on February 19, 2023, in a story ‘Woman burns self to death over failure to offset N70,000 loan’, we reported that a middle-aged woman, simply known as Mama Dada, set herself ablaze over her inability to pay back a loan of N70,000 she reportedly took from a microfinance bank, LAPO. We have since discovered that the microfinance bank referred to in the story was not LAPO Microfinance Bank Limited. We apologise to the LAPO Group for the error in the identification of the name of the said microfinance bank where the deceased took the loan. The mix-up in the name of the MFB is not deliberate.
