Former Arsenal striker Jérémie Aliadière is deeply concerned about William Saliba’s serious back injury, warning that his public declaration it was “over” signaled something far worse than a minor knock. With reports now confirming Saliba may need surgery and miss four to five months — potentially returning only in January — Arsenal’s defense is in serious trouble, especially with Gabriel as his main partner. Aliadière, who played through injuries himself, fears the team’s physical readiness after so many players’ World Cup campaigns could leave them dangerously undermanned at the start of the season. He also recalls Saliba’s past back issues and laments how Arsenal’s careful management last year didn’t prevent this setback. Now, the focus must be on Saliba’s full recovery — even if it means sacrificing immediate performance for long-term health.
