Arsenal set to return key players against Slavia Prague

Summary

Arsenal travels to Slavia Prague for a Champions League match on Wednesday, with William Saliba and Max Dowman available for selection. Saliba is expected to play after recovering from a back injury that sidelined him this season, and he participated in a recent behind-closed-doors match. Dowman will also be eligible following a suspension that only applied to domestic fixtures. Other players, including Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, remain unavailable, while Viktor Gyökeres returns to the squad. Coach Mikel Arteta must make strategic choices regarding the lineup, especially concerning Declan Rice's role following his last performance.
