Arsenal Defender William Saliba Returns to Training Ahead of Slavia Prague
Tuesday, November 3, 2026 · 1 day ago
William Saliba, a defender for Arsenal, has returned to training after a back issue that caused him to miss several games. The issue arose during the World Cup semi-finals.
Saliba had been working individually at the club's training ground to recover from the injury, and his manager, Mikel Arteta, is optimistic about his recovery. Arteta mentioned that they will have another MRI scan next week to assess the healing process.
Saliba's return to training is a positive development for the team, which is currently top of the Premier League table. His presence could provide a boost to the defense, especially if he makes it to the squad for the upcoming match against Slavia Prague.
Additionally, Saliba's return might also impact the team's decision-making regarding defensive positions, particularly with Ezri Konsa's performance being questioned. The team will likely consider his availability for the match against Hull City, which could be a crucial game in their title charge.
Saliba made 50 appearances for Arsenal last season, and his return could be a significant addition to the team's defense.
