Arsenal endured a nightmare start to their clash against Liverpool as William Saliba was forced off with an injury.

With less than five minutes played at Anfield, the centre-back went down on the turf and it quickly became clear he couldn't continue.

It's unclear what the actual injury is, although he went down after a collision with Reds forward Hugo Ekitike.

Cristhian Mosquera was the man to replace Saliba in the back line.

Saliba could join Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus as the latest absentee for Arsenal.

"I saw the incident actually," talkSPORT's chief football correspondent Alex Crook said live on air.

"He came over to this near touchline, right in front of the Arsenal dugout to make a clearance and he pulled up awkwardly after that clearance and went down a couple of minutes later.

Christian Mosquera, one of their summer signings, immediately sent on in his place.

And, well, it's a big game, isn't it, for Mosquera to come into."
