William Saliba’s return to Arsenal’s first-team training ahead of the Champions League match against Slavia Prague has strengthened Mikel Arteta’s options but also created a defensive selection dilemma for the manager.
The centre-back’s availability is a significant boost for Arsenal as they prepare for the fixture. His return gives Arteta another option to consider when deciding on the team’s defensive line-up.
However, Saliba’s involvement also leaves the manager with a difficult choice over how to organise his defence. Arteta must now assess whether and how to reintegrate the France international into his plans for the match.
The latest development comes before Arsenal’s meeting with Slavia Prague in the Champions League. Saliba’s return is therefore likely to be central to the team selection discussion ahead of the game, although the supplied information does not confirm whether he will play.
