English Premier League · 09:19:49 - Thursday, 5 November 2026

Arsenal defender William Saliba has returned to team training after being sidelined since the World Cup, the club confirmed on Tuesday. The French center-back has been absent for an extended period following an injury sustained during the tournament.

Saliba participated in his first full session with the squad at London Colney, marking a significant step in his rehabilitation. The 25-year-old has missed a substantial portion of the season while recovering from the issue that forced him out of international duty.

Manager Mikel Arteta will assess Saliba's fitness before determining his availability for upcoming Premier League fixtures. The defender's return provides a timely boost to Arsenal's defensive options as they navigate a congested fixture schedule.
