William Saliba is waiting for the green light to join Arsenal for training.

RMC says Saliba will return from his loan spell with St. Etienne early now that the Ligue 1 season has been cancelled.

However, the Frenchman will not be able to make his Arsenal debut until next season, though he could still train with his new teammates if and when they return to group sessions at London Colney.

Saliba signed for the Gunners last summer from ASSE before being loaned back for the season.

He has previously worked at London Colney during an injury recovery period.
