Six clearances in draw Saliba generated six clearancesand one interception in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Saliba delivered a calm and commanding full 90 minutes at the Metropolitano, winning four aerial duels and racking up six clearances as Arsenal withstood Atletico Madrid's relentless second-half pressure without conceding from open play in the Champions League semifinal first leg. He played a key role in locking down Antoine Griezmann's movement between the lines, with his positioning consistently breaking up dangerous Atletico buildups as coach Diego Simeone's side pushed numbers forward after leveling the score. The Frenchman has been a defensive anchor lately, posting five interceptions, 10 tackles and 28 clearances over his last six appearances in all competitions while helping the Gunners secure three clean sheets.

Plays 18 minutes Saliba played 18 minutes from the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Impact Saliba failed to start Saturday but still saw the field as his club dropped out of FA Cup play, appearing for 18 minutes to end the match. However, the star defender couldn't do much to help, with Southampton scoring six minutes after he entered. Even more concerning for the defender, he replaced Gabriel, his defensive partner, due to injury. That said, he may need to play a major role when facing Sporting on Tuesday.

Option off bench Saliba (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Southampton.

The center-back remains a key piece in defense with his consistency, aerial presence and ball progression, but the staff is expected to ease him back into action given his importance after starting 32 of his 33 appearances across all competitions this season.

Won't join France Saliba (ankle) is still dealing with issues and won't join the French national team, according to Fabrice Hawkins from RMC Sport.

Impact Saliba still does not look fully past his recurring ankle issue, as Arsenal will not risk him and he will stay in London over the international break. The French defender was replaced by Maxence Lacroix on France's squad list and will now look to use the break to get all the way back to full fitness after a problem that has already cost him several matches this season. Saliba is still a locked-in starter for the Gunners, with 32 starts in 33 appearances across all competitions while adding one goal, 33 tackles and 130 clearances.

Starting Wednesday Saliba (ankle) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Leverkusen.

Impact Saliba is not going to miss any more time as expected, with the defender immediately in a starting role again after his ankle injury. The French defender should remain in this role moving forward as long as he avoids a further injury, only missing one start all season when an option.

Will return Wednesday Saliba (ankle) is fine and expected to be involved in Wednesday's Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Impact Saliba missed a couple of games due to the injury he suffered on March 1 against Chelsea, when he scored his lone goal of the season. The center-back is an undisputed starter when available as part of a center-back pairing alongside Gabriel Magalhaes, and his inclusion in the initial squad will likely move Cristhian Mosquera back to the bench.

Back in training Saliba (ankle) was involved in training ahead of Wednesday's match against Leverkusen, according to his club.

Impact Saliba was not an option for FA Cup play this weekend, but looks to be trending towards a return on Wednesday, with the defender back in training. The hope will be that the defender is fit enough to work back into the starting XI immediately, linking up with his counterpart in the defense, Gabriel. This would be a major boost to the club, as the French defender is one of the best in the world.
