Arsenal injury, suspension list and return dates vs. Slavia Prague: Bukayo Saka, William Saliba latest

Seeking a swift return to winning ways in the Champions League, Arsenal take on Slavia Prague at the Fortuna Arena on Wednesday evening for matchweek four of the 2026-27 League Phase.

After besting Napoli and Lille in their first two games of the competition, the Gunners played out a gripping 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on October 21, when Declan Rice snatched a point for Mikel Arteta's men late on.

Speaking of daunting away days, the Premier League champions continued their title defence away to Liverpool on Sunday and banished their Anfield demons in a 1-0 win, their first away to the Reds in the top flight for 14 years.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Slavia Prague, who sit 32nd in the league-phase table with just one point from their opening three games.
