Arsenal have no other defender like Rob Holding who can fill in for the injured Saliba.
Rob Holding has replaced injured William Saliba in Arsenal’s last few matches. However, his performance is not up to the mark.
The Englishman was out of favour for a long time as Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes formed a solid defensive partnership at the heart of the Arsenal defence.
In the absence of Saliba, Holding has been given the chance to prove his worth, but the defender is struggling and has now been described as the main weakness at Arsenal by pundit John Giles.
He told Off The Ball: “When it comes to these crunch matches I think that the weaknesses show up. Xhaka is a weakness, Gabriel is a weakness and the other lad at centre-half, Holding, is a definite weakness.
“You have Holding and I know he’s not in the team when everyone is fit, but he’s a definite weakness, he’s a big weakness.”
Most fans recognise Holding as not being good enough, but at the moment, Arsenal have no other defender who can fill in for the injured Saliba.
