Arsenal have confirmed William Saliba will be out for an extended period with a back injury.
However, the France international central defender is not expected to have surgery, according to a club statement.
Saliba was substituted in the 30th minute of France’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Spain.

He added: “Whether there’s more or less pressure now I’m not quite sure, that’s not for me to know or really say, but I do feel we’ve got a really good opportunity now. That’s how I’m looking at it.
“We have had a little bit of a sticky patch. We had one earlier in the season which we came back from. I’ve been here 18 and a half months, and
The news will come as a blow to manager Mikel Arteta given Odegaard’s importance to his team.
The start of Odegaard’s season has been plagued by injury problems, with the midfielder being forced off in the first half of three consecutive Premier League matches.
Arsenal face north London rivals Tottenham immediately after next month’s international break, and it remains to be seen whether Odegaard can recover in time for the
There are a few things that are not right about Liverpool, and I keep seeing them give the ball away, but I don’t see this as an unresolvable situation.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says he has “got no problem” with James Maddison going to watch darts despite being unable to start a match because of illness.
The England midfielder was meant to start last Sunday’s home game against Wolves at 15:00 GMT but was only deemed well enough to be on the bench.
He came on in the 64th minute of their 2-2 draw.
Hours later he was pictured
In the short term, Arsenal’s latest dismissal is a blow because Saliba will miss the home game against current Premier League leaders Liverpool on 27 October.
The Gunners are currently one point behind the Reds in the table, but should Arne Slot’s side win against Chelsea on Sunday and then beat Arsenal, they would move seven clear of Arteta’s side.
Champions Manchester City could also move clear of Arsenal –
The issue with yellow cards pre-dates Maresca’s appointment in June.
Former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino spoke last season about how “silly” bookings were a problem and showed video clips to his players to try to rectify the issue.
The Blues were punished last season for not adapting to new Premier League rules for dissent.
Jackson picked up 10 bookings last season but only one was for a foul, the others
Kovacic had Bernardo Silva and Kevin de Bruyne around him against Chelsea, and of course that would help anyone because they are two such magnificent footballers.
But he was being asked to play deeper and be more disciplined than usual and the way he did it was key for me, especially being a former midfielder myself.
