Arsenal defender William Saliba returned to first-team training on Tuesday after an absence of nearly four months with a back injury. The 25-year-old Frenchman has not featured this season after sustaining the injury during the World Cup.
Saliba continued to manage the injury during the tournament before being substituted after 30 minutes of France’s semi-final defeat to Spain. He also missed the third-place match, which France lost to England.
Despite the defender’s absence, Arsenal top the Premier League by three points over Manchester City after nine matches and are unbeaten in their three Champions League games. The club had signed English defender Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa to strengthen its defensive options, and the source praised his form since arriving at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal travel to Czech side Slavia Prague on Wednesday in the Champions League.
