Arsenal’s William Saliba has voiced his belief that the Gunners might have clinched the Premier League title last season if not for his untimely injury.
The French international, a linchpin in Mikel Arteta’s squad, suffered a back injury in March, sidelining him for the remainder of the campaign.
As Arsenal faced the critical title run-in against Manchester City, Saliba’s absence left a notable void in the defensive line.
While Saliba acknowledges the unpredictable nature of injuries in football, he asserts,
Yeah, it’s clear with me (fully fit), Arsenal could have been champions, but injuries are a part of football.” Despite finishing five points behind Man City last season, Saliba expresses optimism for the current campaign, emphasizing new ambitions and the hope for improved performances.
As Arsenal gears up for upcoming fixtures, fans are eager for Saliba’s sustained availability throughout the season. The Gunners’ faithful will look to overcome past setbacks and aim for success in their pursuit of glory.
