Arsenal defender Saliba insists flight delay no issue

Arsenal defender Wlliam Saliba insists they'll be ready tonight against Champions League opponents Lens.

Their arrival in France yesterday was delayed by five hours.

But Saliba, while still in the London airport, insisted: "Of course we are ready. We have to arrive first, but tomorrow is a new day.

"We will probably do our best against Lens. We have a good feeling in the team.

"It's my second Champions League match with Arsenal and I can't wait to play in France, so everything is good."
