April 18, (THEWILL) – Arsenal’s English Premier League title hopes have been given a significant boost with the return of defender, William Saliba, to training.
Saliba has been out of action with a back injury since the Gunners’ UEFA Europa League exit to Sporting CP. The loss of Takehiro Tomiyasu for the season added to the urgency of Saliba’s recovery. Arsenal fans will be hoping that Saliba’s return can help the team overcome recent back-to-back draws and prepare for their crucial match against Manchester City next week.
The news of Saliba’s return to training came via a video on Mohamed Elneny’s Instagram account. The video shows Elneny and Saliba working out on bikes in the club’s gym. There remain concerns over the defender’s fitness, but Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that Saliba is “progressing well” and is not far from returning to training on grass.
It remains to be seen whether Saliba will be fit in time for the run-in, but his return to training will be a much-needed boost for Arsenal. The potential return of William Saliba to training is a significant development for Arsenal, who have struggled with injuries this season. Saliba’s return could not have come at a better time for the team, especially after their last two matches.
The prospect of a fit and healthy Saliba returning to the squad will be a welcome boost to Arsenal’s title hopes. With City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton still ahead, Arsenal fans will be hoping that Saliba can help turn the team’s fortunes around and keep the team on course for the title.
