William Saliba training theory emerges ahead of Arsenal's clash vs Liverpool

Arsenal fans have theorised that they have spotted defender William Saliba in the corner of a photo from training.

The French international sustained a lower back injury during last month's Europa League disappointment against Sporting CP and has since missed the last two Premier League outings - which were 4-1 victories over Crystal Palace and Leeds United respectively. It is currently unclear whether or not he will return to face Liverpool today, with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta remaining coy when asked about the 22-year-old's current fitness status on Friday.

"No no real changes with the rest of the players that were still injured," Arteta said. "We have some hope with one of them who will maybe be able to train but we'll see."

Now, some Arsenal supporters on social media think they may have found Saliba in the corner of an image from the club's London Colney training ground, hilariously comparing the hand of the player to other images of the talented centre-back in action. Fans will be hoping they are proven right considering just how crucial he has been for them this season, establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most consistent centre-halves over the last year.

Rob Holding has deputised for the former Saint Etienne starlet in the last two matches, performing admirably and he will hope to continue that kind of form today if he is called upon again.
