The Brazilian centre-half will play no part against the Cottagers on Saturday, with Nigel Winterburn concerned about inexperienced cover
Arsenal have confirmed that David Luiz will miss their Premier League opener against Fulham on Saturday, with Nigel Winterburn considering the Brazilian to be a “big, big loss”.
The Gunners have revealed that a neck spasm is keeping the experienced centre-half stuck on the sidelines.
A fitness update on the club’s official website - which also rules out Sokratis against the Cottagers - states that Luiz is “currently being assessed and undergoing treatment with good response”.
