EPL: Arteta speaks on Saliba playing against West Ham

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has said William Saliba will not be available for their trip to West Ham this Sunday.

Saliba has been out of action with a back problem he suffered during a Europa League clash against Sporting Lisbon last month.

However, striker Eddie Nketiah is back and could be in the squad to face David Moyes’ men.

“William is still not available. He is progressing well. We are hopeful we will have him in the next weeks. Eddie is fully back now.

“He [Saliba] is not far. We need to be cautious because of the injury but he is evolving well,” Arteta.
