Arteta hopes for swift Saliba return as Arsenal targets Champions League progress

The Hindu  

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta allayed fears on Tuesday that William Saliba could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury as he targets a place in the Champions League last 16. Saliba will not return for Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Dinamo Zagreb, but Arteta expects him back before the visit of Manchester City in the Premier League on February 2. “Yes, I hope so,” said Arteta, when asked at a pre-match press conference whether Saliba would be back to face the champions. The last few days he was feeling much better already, but this game comes a little bit too early for him.” Arsenal is well-placed to qualify directly for the last 16 of the Champions League -- third in the 36-team table with the top eight progressing to the last 16.
