Arsenal receive huge Saliba injury update pre-Slavia Praha

William Saliba has returned to full training and is pushing for inclusion in Arsenal's traveling squad for their Champions League match against Slavia Praha. The French international defender has not played since July 14, having progressed from individual training since early October to full team sessions on Monday. Arsenal's final media training session on Tuesday is expected to provide confirmation of his status.

While Saliba's participation against Slavia Praha remains subject to his progress in final sessions, Dan Critchlow notes his recovery is particularly crucial for Arsenal's challenging upcoming fixtures. Later this month, the Gunners face Newcastle United, Borussia Dortmund, and Manchester City, followed by matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid in early December.
