Gary Neville has mocked Jamie Carragher for sharing fake news around William Saliba on social media.
Carragher reposted a message on social media from an account pretending to journalist David Ornstein, which suggested Saliba had suffered a hamstring injury and would be sidelined for seven weeks.
Saliba has been one of Arsenal’s most important players this season, starting every Premier League game in what appears to be another title chance for the Gunners.
And with Carragher’s hopes dashed, Neville was on hand to mock his Sky Sports colleague by sharing the repost from Carragher.
