Arsenal have recently suffered back-to-back defeats in the league and have dropped six points in a row, making the Premier League title race take a sharp turn for the worse. English soccer legend Leniga said that the biggest trigger for Arsenal's sudden collapse is undoubtedly the absence of French defender William Shaliba. The 22-year-old center back is said to have suffered a more serious back injury than expected, and is certain to be unable to play in the tough match with Manchester City, and may even face the risk of an early end to the season.
William Shaliba has been sidelined since his injury in the Europa League last month, during which time Arsenal have had Lochtein in his place, and although they have achieved an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 2 draws, the team's defense is full of holes, and they have conceded a total of 7 goals in their last 3 matches, making them the main culprits for the team's loss of points. Leniga said on this issue: "From the data, the importance of Shaliba is self-evident, after he was injured, Arsenal lost 7 goals in the last 3 games, this is no coincidence, right?"
