Saliba & Dowman join Arsenal training pre-Slavia Praha

Saliba & Dowman join Arsenal training pre-Slavia Praha William Saliba was in training with Arsenal on Tuesday morning, along with Max Dowman, who is eligible to face Slavia Praha in midweek.

The Gunners face Slavia Praha away from home on Wednesday. The session provided some positive updates, most notably that William Saliba was fit to take part. Previous reports had revealed that Saliba is now back in full training, but it’s good to have the official confirmation. None of Arsenal’s players to face Liverpool were absent here, suggesting there have been no significant injury setbacks. There was some doubt around Eberechi Eze’s fitness prior to the Liverpool game, but he was involved in Tuesday’s session.

As the suspension only applies to domestic matches, he’ll be free to face Slavia Praha on Wednesday if selected, and it seems he’s in contention. 24 players took part in Tuesday’s session, and there are 23 spots in the matchday squad. But the total of 24 included youth goalkeeper Remy Mitchell , who presumably won’t be called up given David Raya , Kepa Arrizabalaga , and Illan Meslier are all fit. That hypothetically leaves room for everyone else to be named, including Dowman and Saliba.
