Arsenal injury news: William Saliba return date assessed as Mikel Arteta gives major 'evolution' update before Slavia Prague

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that William Saliba is ready to make his return to the Arsenal team ahead of his side's Champions League clash with Slavia Prague on Wednesday. The defender has not played a single minute of football this season after suffering a back injury while playing for France at the World Cup. His absence mattered little on Sunday, when the Gunners emerged as 1-0 winners against Liverpool to move to first in the Premier League .
