William Saliba could return to action with Arsenal as early as November. That is what Maxifoot reports, which mentions a return for the defender after a prolonged absence. The player has not played since his withdrawal in the 2026 World Cup semi-final lost to Spain (0-2).

Foot Mercato specifies that Saliba has been away from the pitches since July 14, the date of that semi-final. The outlet indicates that the player has suffered from back pain for several months, and that his return is becoming clearer at Arsenal.
