EPL: Arteta reveals Saliba’s reaction to exclusion from Arsenal team photo

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has stated that William Saliba has no problems being left out of the recent team photo. Initially, Arsenal had suggested Saliba was absent from the photo due to a "medical appointment". However, Arteta clarified that the shoot was repeatedly delayed due to various obligations and personnel, before finally being conducted without the French defender.

Arteta explained, "We attempted to capture that image three times and were forced to cancel it last minute due to several circumstances. We had commitments and personnel to accommodate, so we proceeded with the new photo." Regarding Saliba's response, Arteta said, "Willy is typically content with everything. He's aware of the love he receives. He was joking around with his teammates, and he's completely fine."
