Arsenal handed double fitness boost for Leeds game

Saliba and Timber fit to play again

Arsenal handed double fitness boost for Leeds game

30 January 2026 - 20:22

Arsenal have been handed a double fitness boost ahead of the Premier League trip to Leeds United on Saturday afternoon.

  • Chelsea to send Aaron Anselmino on loan again?
  • Man City star out of Tottenham clash with new injury



  • The Gunners are winless in the last three league outings with just two points and will be aiming to make amends at Elland Road.

    Ahead of the encounter, manager Mikel Arteta has revealed good news by confirming the availability of William Saliba and Jurrien Timber.

    The defensive pairing were absent from training earlier this week. Arteta highlighted that they were being rested due to niggles.

    The duo were subsequently not included in the matchday squad against Kairat in the Champions League, but should return tomorrow.

    Saliba has been an undisputed starter in central defence when fit. The Frenchman is widely expected to partner Gabriel Magalhaes.

    Jurrien Timber should be drafted straight in the right-back position ahead of Ben White, who was the standing captain on Wednesday night.

    Arsenal are presently four points ahead of Manchester City and Aston Villa at the top of the table, and can temporarily go seven clear with a win.

    Man City and Villa are only in Premier League action on Sunday.
