Arsenal only conceded four goals in the last two rounds of the league, but lost four points due to consecutive draws, the team's defense has been criticized. Manager Adi Da had expected the return of center back William Shaliba to stabilize the defense, however, according to The Sun, the 22-year-old French international's recovery is not progressing as well as expected, and he will not be able to return to action against Manchester City on April 27 in the Premier League table-topping match.

Willem Shaliba has been sidelined since his injury against Sporting in the Europa League in March. Adidas said last week that the player is recovering well and is expected to return in the near future. However, it seems that William Salemba will not be able to play in the crucial match against Manchester City.

Meanwhile, left-back Sim Jinco, who was previously injured against Liverpool, is fine and is expected to return to action against Southampton in the Premier League home game in the early hours of Saturday (22).
