Arteta won't stand in way of Saliba's France call-up

Arteta is willing to release Saliba for France duty under Zidane, despite the defender lacking minutes for Arsenal this season.

William Saliba has yet to feature for Arsenal this season after suffering an injury at the World Cup when France faced Spain in the semi-final. He was included in the squad for Wednesday's match against Slavia Prague but did not play. Despite Saliba's limited action, manager Mikel Arteta appears relaxed about releasing him for international duty with France under new coach Zinedine Zidane, recognizing that the player would benefit from the minutes and would naturally want to represent his country.
