Saliba And Martinelli To Start; Saka Not In The Squad: Arsenal’s Predicted XI To Take On Chelsea

Saliba And Martinelli To Start; Saka Not In The Squad: Arsenal’s Predicted XI To Take On Chelsea

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been coy on the fitness of both Bukayo Saka and William Saliba heading into the game against Chelsea this weekend.

The Gunners boss was particularly evasive when it came to Saka’s availability, simply stating that the winger “wants to play” rather than providing an update on his hamstring problem.


With Saliba, the defender used the international break to rest up and there is hope that he has had enough time to recover from a toe injury.
