Arsenal Faces Injury Woes Before Liverpool Match

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka is facing a challenging recovery from a hamstring injury sustained while on international duty, making him unlikely to play against Liverpool this Sunday. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed concerns about Saka's fitness, noting he has not trained with the team. In addition to Saka, Arsenal will also miss club captain Martin Odegaard, who is recovering from an ankle injury, and William Saliba, who is suspended. The Gunners are already dealing with a mounting injury list, including Riccardo Calafiori, who suffered an injury during the Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk. Arteta remains optimistic about the team's overall performance but acknowledges these absences could significantly impact their chances against in-form Liverpool. The match is crucial for Arsenal as a defeat would leave them seven points adrift of the top of the Premier League.
