Is William Saliba injured this weekend? Arsenal fitness update after Kairat absence
"Arsenal are hoping for positive news on the fitness of key defender William Saliba. The colossal France international didn't play at all in midweek against Kairat Almaty and with a huge clash against Leeds United to come this weekend, Mikel Arteta will hope to have him available. FourFourTwo brings you the latest on Saliba and what we know so far regarding his latest injury setback."
"Arteta did provide an update ahead of the clash with Kairat in midweek, ruling out both Saliba and Jurrien Timber. The Spaniard admitted the pair are being assessed first of all ahead of their trip to West Yorkshire this weekend. No, those are not (available), began Arteta, It's a good opportunity now that we make a different kind of work with them to get them in the best possible condition for the weekend hopefully."
"Arteta was not asked about the towering French defender in his post-match press conference on Wednesday night, so we expect another update on Friday. The Spaniard will conduct his pre-match media duties ahead of the Leeds game, with the Gunners looking to bounce back after a defeat to Manchester United last weekend.
