Former Premier League star, Clinton Morrison has insisted that William Saliba is just as important to Mikel Arteta\u2019s Arsenal as Declan Rice.<\/p>\n
Morrison said that Rice has been outstanding for Arteta\u2019s side but Saliba\u2019s availability will be a decisive factor in their Premier League title race this term.<\/p>\n
According to the former Republic of Ireland international, Saliba and Gabriel\u2019s partnership is rock solid but Arsenal could struggle if the French defender suffers an injury setback.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe spoke about Declan Rice, he has been outstanding. But another player who has been outstanding and they have to keep fit is Saliba,\u201d Morrison said on Soccer Special on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnbelievable. The partnership between him and Gabriel is brilliant.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is a protection (from Rice). But if they were to pick an injury to Saliba, then it is a struggle. You are then looking at who could come in.\u201d<\/p>\n
