Saliba plays every minute of 23/24 Premier League term

Arsenal fell just short of glory. The preparations for the Premier League celebrations were locked away inside the Emirates Stadium. But William Saliba has plenty to celebrate as he has had a season to celebrate in style.

The Frenchman played every minute of the 2023/24 campaign in the domestic competition. Counting from one to 90 in each of the 38 matches. He missed absolutely nothing, scoring two goals and providing one assist.

However, William Saliba is not alone. Outfield players such as Max Kilman and James Tarkowski are the Wolves and Everton defenders who emulated the Frenchman's feat. In goal, four goalkeepers: Guglielmo Vicario, Andre Onana, Bernd Leno and Jordan Pickford.

And the case of Joachim Andersen is a curious one. The Crystal Palace defender went into the last game having played every minute. However, he was substituted in the 87th minute during the Eagles' 5-0 win over Aston Villa.
