Arsenal Defender David Luiz Could Face Six Weeks on Sidelines

Arsenal defender David Liuz is Injure, Rob Holding to Cover Liuz Let out space for the first fixture of the 2020/21 campaign

The Brazilian defender was in margin to start Arsenal's first fixture of the 2020/21 campaign but has been unable to join in with full training so far this week.

He is now a doubt to make the squad for the Craven Cottage clash, and his fitness is expected to have a knock-on effect to Arsenal's transfer business.

As per reports from The Athletic, Luiz's injury could force him out for up to six weeks.

Defender Rob Holding's proposed loan move to Newcastle is now set to be cancelled in order to cover for Luiz's absence.

Arsenal now have several players in that position though, following the arrivals of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, in addition to Shkodran Mustafi and Pablo Mari, while others can also play in that role.

Rob Holding Will Cover Liuz Let out space 

The 24-year-old English Full-back had been linked with a Season loan to Newcastle, but Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta is said to be keen to keep him at the club.

It could be due to the injury David Luiz has underwent ahead of the first game of the season, against Fulham.

However, The Athletic claims the manager wanted him to stay 'irrespective' of Luiz's injury and is now in line to start the London derby.
