Is William Saliba set to return to the Arsenal lineup for their Champions League clash with Club Brugge? The Gunners' defensive woes may soon be a thing of the past, as some of their star players are on the verge of making a comeback. This season, Arsenal has faced a familiar challenge: defensive injuries. However, unlike previous campaigns, the team has the squad depth to overcome these setbacks. The recent signings of Christhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie are already paying dividends, and their manager, Mikel Arteta, is a master tactician. Despite the current absence of Mosquera, Arsenal's newfound squad depth is proving invaluable. But the real question on everyone's mind is: will William Saliba and Gabriel be back on the pitch soon? The duo has been recovering from injuries, with Gabriel dealing with an adductor issue and Saliba nursing a knock. Speaking ahead of the Champions League trip to Club Brugge, Arteta provided some encouraging updates. While Saliba and Gabriel won't be available for tonight's game, there's a glimmer of hope. Arteta revealed that Saliba is still not available, but Leo Trossard has made a recovery from a previous knock. However, Trossard won't be suiting up for tonight's match. Declan Rice, who fell ill, has also been left out of the Belgium trip. The real breakthrough comes with Kai Havertz, who has been sidelined for most of the past year due to various injuries. Arteta shared that Havertz is making great progress and is close to returning to the pitch. He expressed his excitement about Havertz's potential impact, highlighting his love for the player's character and personality. Havertz's return could be a game-changer, providing a much-needed boost to the team's morale and performance. So, while Arsenal may still face challenges in the near future, the return of these key players could be the turning point they need to turn their season around.
