  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Arsenal are already missing a number of first team players for Sunday's Premier League clash against the champions. Captain Martin Odegaard, who travelled with the squad to Merseyside, started the game on the bench due to a shoulder injury that he suffered last week against Leeds. Star winger Bukayo Saka is also missing the clash after sustaining a hamstring injury last week. Kai Havertz, on the other hand, has been ruled out of action for a prolonged period due to a knee problem.

• DID YOU KNOW

  Mosquera, who replaced Saliba in the centre-back role, moved to the Premier League in the summer transfer window from Valencia. He was handed his Gunners debut against Leeds last week.

  WHAT NEXT FOR SALIBA

  Arsenal's medical staff will thoroughly look at Saliba's injury before giving a final verdict on the defender's condition. It now seems unlikely that he will join the France squad during the upcoming international break.
