Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
However, Saliba had to be taken off at half-time in the clash against the Magpies as he was replaced by Riccardo Calafiori due to an apparent injury. Mikel Arteta has now revealed that the Frenchman 'felt something' in his hamstring and could not continue in the clash. It could be possible that the French centre-back's season may be over, as they only have one more game to contend with before the end of the campaign.
AFPWHAT ARTETA SAID
Speaking to the media, Arteta said: “I think he (Saliba) felt something in his hamstring in the first half, unfortunately, so we had to make the substitution."
Getty ImagesDID YOU KNOW?
Saliba has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer as Los Blancos look to revamp their defensive line, having already confirmed the signing of Bournemouth's highly-rated centre-back Dean Huijsen. Madrid are set to play in the Club World Cup next month, and if the 15-time European champions do strike a deal before the competition, Saliba may have already played his final game with the Gunners.
