According to sources close to the club, Arsenal defender William Saliba has been left deeply disappointed by the wave of criticism received from fans following the recent match against Crystal Palace.
Saliba was involved in the buildup to the goal scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta, and many supporters took to social media to express their frustration with the Frenchman’s performance.
Insiders report that Saliba has taken the criticism very seriously and is determined to prove his worth in the upcoming matches. Rather than deflecting responsibility, he aims to respond with performances that will restore the faith of the Arsenal faithful.
“He’s fully aware of the expectations and wants to show the fans that this was just a moment, not a reflection of his true level,” said a club source.
Saliba has been one of the most consistent performers in Arsenal’s back line this season, and despite the error, the coaching staff continues to place their trust in him.
The 23-year-old remains focused on the team’s objectives and is expected to start in the next crucial Premier League fixture.
