Omitted to build match fitness
Saliba (back) has been omitted from Arsenal's squad for Saturday's Premier League clash against Hull City to gain additional playing time with the under-21s, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "He needs some minutes. Obviously, the Champions League allows you to bring more players into the bench, but we believe that it's the best thing to do, to play some minutes on the weekend with under-21s and then be fully fit for the international break."
-
Fit for Hull City clash
Saliba (back) is fit and available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Hull City after returning to normal training, with coach Mikel Arteta also addressing his potential inclusion in new France coach Zinedine Zidane's upcoming squad. "We've been in very close contact [with France], I think they're announcing at 5pm this evening, so they have all the information. Now it's about them, about Zinedine [Zidane] in this case, to give the call. We will accept whatever it is. It's more between them, because William needs minutes as well. I know how much he loves to be around the national team, it's a new manager, a really exciting one as well, so whatever he's decided is fine for us."

Fit for bench
Saliba (back) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Slavia Prague.

Could return Wednesday
Saliba (back) could make a full return during Wednesday's trip to Slavia Prague, per manager Mikel Arteta. "Yes, he's in a really good place. I think the process and the timings and in the manner that the injury has been dealt with, and especially the feelings that Willy has been having along the way, they've been very, very positive. So, his evolution has been as expected, which is not always the case. He feels very comfortable. He played 45 minutes [behind] closed doors last week and he feels ready to go. So whether we use him or not now is a matter of what the team needs."
