William Saliba has been left out of the Arsenal squad taking on Chelsea in the Premier League this afternoon.
League leaders Arsenal have made the trip to Stamford Bridge without centre-half Gabriel Magalhaes, who is ruled out until the end of December with a thigh injury.
His partner at the back William Saliba also misses out after picking up a knock in training.
Mikel Arteta has selected two of his summer signings in their place with Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera starting for the first time together at Stamford Bridge.
