Arsenal Gain Multiple Injury Returns Before Key Manchester City Match

Arsenal are preparing for a crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City with some positive injury news, including the return of William Saliba and Ben White to the squad, while Bukayo Saka has been spotted joining the team on a pre-match walk, signaling a potential return. However, captain Martin Ødegaard remains absent due to a shoulder injury, and Saka's playing time is still uncertain as he recovers from a hamstring strain. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that both Saliba and White are available, and despite some injury concerns for other players like Mikel Merino and Viktor Gyokeres, they are fit to play. Arsenal's defense has been strong this season, conceding just one goal, which poses a challenge for Manchester City's attack led by Erling Haaland. Looking ahead, Arsenal have also received a boost for their upcoming away match against Newcastle United, who will be without their new striker Yoane Wissa due to injury. This absence could improve Arsenal's chances in what has been a difficult fixture historically for them under Arteta.
