Will Arsenal's star defender William Saliba be fit to play against Club Brugge in the Champions League tonight? Arsenal's defensive concerns could soon be alleviated as some of their biggest stars return to the field. The Gunners have faced defensive injuries this season, but their squad depth has helped them overcome these challenges. Signing Christhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie has proven to be a strategic move by manager Mikel Arteta, despite Mosquera's current injury. Arsenal's newfound squad depth is paying off, but Arteta still aims to have his best players available for selection. William Saliba and Gabriel, the first-choice defensive duo, have been recovering from injuries. Gabriel's adductor issue, sustained during international duty, and Saliba's recent knock, have kept them sidelined. However, Arteta provides encouraging news ahead of Arsenal's Champions League trip to Club Brugge tonight (December 10). He confirms that while William Saliba and Leo Trossard are not yet ready, Kai Havertz, sidelined for most of the past 12 months due to various injuries, is close to a return. Arteta expresses his excitement about Havertz's progress, highlighting his positive impact on the team. He believes Havertz's return will be a significant boost, given his exceptional playing record and character. The question remains whether Saliba will be fit in time for the crucial match, as Arsenal aims to strengthen their defensive line-up.
