William Saliba, a key defender for Arsenal, returned to full training on November 3, 2026, nearly four months after injuring his back during France's World Cup semifinal match against Spain. The injury had sidelined him since July and required an extended period of rest rather than surgery. His return presents manager Mikel Arteta with a selection dilemma as he must decide whether to integrate Saliba into the starting lineup immediately or gradually increase playing time. Meanwhile, Arsenal faces Slavia Prague in the Champions League on November 8, where they will likely be rotating their squad due to recent matches and upcoming international breaks for players.
