Saliba’s Early Exit Rocks Arsenal at Anfield…
Arsenal faced a shocking setback just five minutes into their game at Anfield when defender William Saliba had to limp off, making way for new recruit Cristhian Mosquera. It’s almost as if Arsenal borrowed a page from my grandma’s cookbook—full of injuries! Mikel Arteta already had his hands full with Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz both sidelined for several weeks. Martin Odegaard was fit enough to grace the bench after his recent mishap against Leeds United—like an avocado that’s perfectly ripe but still not on your plate.
Meanwhile, Arsenal has been shopping to fight their injury woes, recently signing Eberechi Eze for an eye-watering $91 million. You’d think they’d bought a solid gold football! Manager Mikel Arteta sung his praises, citing Eze’s special aura and glowing energy as key attributes. “It’s like having a fresh cup of espresso on the bench,” Arteta quipped. Eze might not have started, but Arteta’s not giving any secrets away just yet. “He’s picking teams apart with his smile alone,” Arteta chuckled, “and as long as no one gets injured smiling, we’re onto a winner!”
