Sources: William Saliba makes Arsenal’s UCL matchday squad for Slavia Praha fixture

Arsenal face Slavia Praha at the Fortuna Arena on Wednesday night in the fourth Matchweek of the 26/27 UCL campaign. 

William Saliba suffered a back injury at the World Cup finals in North America this summer, ruling him out for an extended period of time, forcing Arsenal to be without their Frenchman until now. 

Saliba returned to first-team training on Monday (2 Nov) and has travelled to Prague with the Gunners squad. Sources indicate that the defender has completed training successfully today, and is in the final matchday squad to face the Czech side. 

Also, sources say that the club are working with the France National team to coordinate a suitable international break structure for the CB.

Saliba has surpassed all recovery milestones that were set out for him at the start of the season and is now ready to go again.

Great news to have Wilo back. 🇫🇷
