Arsenal are looking to get back to winning ways in the league after their dramatic 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last weekend. But while able to welcome Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calaifori back to the starting lineup, Arsenal were without the aforementioned Timber and Saliba due to injury. The defensive duo have been pivotal for Arsenal this season but were absent from Tuesday’s training, with Arteta saying the pair had ‘slight niggles’. However, the Arsenal boss confirmed that the pair are now back in training and fully fit for Saturday’s trip to Elland Road.
