Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted centre back William Saliba suffered a setback in his bid to return from a minor ankle injury which has left him unable to train with the team for the past few weeks.
Saliba was ruled out of the 1–1 draw with Chelsea late last month but was not expected to need long on the sidelines, with Arteta insisting the Frenchman was just “days” away from a comeback. Since then, however, he has missed a further three games.
