Mikel Arteta is delighted to welcome William Saliba back to full training, with the defender now available for selection for the first time this season.
Saliba has struggled with a persistent back problem over the years, which also prevented him from continuing to play for France during the latter stages of the World Cup.
The defender missed Arsenal’s pre-season preparations as he focused on recovering naturally after medical assessments determined that surgery was unnecessary. His return is a significant boost for the Gunners, with supporters expecting him to reclaim his place in the starting XI.
