#arsenal #arsenalnews #singapore Arsenal’s injury-hit backline is finally showing signs of recovery. Mikel Arteta has confirmed that both Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba featured in a behind-closed-doors 2-0 win over Watford, with the Brazilian completing 45 minutes and Saliba also in action. Riccardo Calafiori is back training too, with Arteta emphasizing the importance of his fitness ahead of a demanding season. Jurrien Timber is still in rehab following ankle surgery, and Takehiro Tomiyasu has now left the club—but the trio of Gabriel, Saliba, and Calafiori are expected to feature in Arsenal’s first public pre-season game against AC Milan this Wednesday. Ben White continues to deputize in Timber’s absence, and goals from White and Kai Havertz sealed Arsenal’s low-key pre-season opener. With defensive reinforcements returning and Calafiori pushing to become a regular, Arsenal’s 2025/26 campaign could see a more stable and dominant backline
