Overview

• Saliba twisted his ankle in the warm-up at Anfield, briefly tried to play, and was substituted inside five minutes.
• France's medical staff released him from the national squad so he can focus on recovery.
• L'Équipe reports a three-to-four week absence, which would rule him out of Nottingham Forest, Athletic Club, Manchester City and Newcastle among others.
• Arsenal are assessing Ben White for a possible return against Forest, while Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapié, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber offer cover in defence.
• The setback adds to injuries for Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, with Mikel Arteta managing a busy run across the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup.
