Saliba returns to Arsenal training ahead of Champions League clash
William Saliba has not played since injuring his back at the World Cup in July.
Arsenal defender William Saliba made his first appearance in training with the team since sustaining a back injury at the World Cup in July. The French international participated in Arsenal's session at their London Colney facility ahead of their upcoming Champions League match against Slavia Prague on Wednesday. In the offseason, Arsenal acquired England defender Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa, who has reportedly integrated well with Gabriel Magalhães in the back line.
While Saliba's return to light training is a positive sign, it is unlikely that he will play in the Champions League fixture or be selected by France coach Zinedine Zidane for the upcoming Nations League matches against Italy and Turkey.
