  • Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains cautious regarding Saliba's reintegration, though the team will hold an open training session on Tuesday to provide official clarity on squad availability.
  • Following the trip to Prague, the Gunners prepare to host Hull at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, as Arteta balances squad fitness across the schedule.
