William Saliba, the French defender for Arsenal, has returned to full training after being sidelined since injuring his back in the World Cup semi-final match against Spain in October. The 25-year-old had not played any minutes since that injury and was sent to specialists who determined surgery wasn't necessary, but required an extended period of rest instead. His return presents a significant boost for Arsenal ahead of their upcoming matches, including the Champions League game against Slavia Prague on November 4th. Despite Saliba's recovery, manager Mikel Arteta still faces a defensive dilemma due to the strong performance of summer signing Ezri Konsa during his absence. In the match against Slavia Prague, Arsenal secured a hard-fought victory with goals from Noni Madueke and Victor Gyokeres, earning their third win in four Champions League games this season.
