Arsenal have been handed a significant boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League encounter against Slavia Praha on Wednesday, following the return of defender William Saliba to first-team training.
The French centre-back has resumed training with his teammates as he approaches the final stages of his recovery from a lengthy injury layoff.
Saliba is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Gunners this season after being sidelined with a back problem.
The 25-year-old’s last competitive outing for Arsenal came towards the end of the previous campaign.
His return to training represents a welcome development for manager Mikel Arteta, who will be keen to have the defender available as the season progresses.
However, it remains uncertain whether Saliba will be fit enough to feature when Arsenal take on Slavia Praha on Wednesday.
