English Premier League · 01:58:49 - Wednesday, 4 November 2026

Arsenal defender William Saliba has returned to full training with the Premier League club after being sidelined since the World Cup, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

The France international had been absent since sustaining an injury during the tournament, missing a significant portion of the season. His return to the training ground at London Colney provides a boost for manager Mikel Arteta as the team navigates a busy fixture schedule.

Saliba, 25, established himself as a key figure in Arsenal's back line before the injury. The club has not disclosed a specific timeline for his return to competitive match action, but his participation in team sessions marks a significant step in his rehabilitation.
