Saliba had to surprisingly leave the French squad a few minutes after the City game due to a toe injury.
It has been reported that the problem has been affecting the defender for a number of weeks, which has been described as “chronic” by the French media, and Arsenal are hoping to have him back for the Chelsea trip.
Leandro Trossard
The winger was sent off at half-time in Arsenal’s last game and was subsequently eliminated from Belgium’s Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Trossard is back in north London with a hamstring problem. It is understood the decision to send him home was purely a precautionary measure.

Arsenal fans continue to wait to see whether Timber will play again this season after suffering a serious knee injury on his Premier League debut.
There have been reports in recent days that the Dutchman was due to return in March, but it is too early to set a date for his return at this stage.
