Saliba Back in Action as Arsenal Announce Squad to Face Wigan

Arsenal has announced their lineup for today’s FA Cup match against Wigan, featuring William Saliba’s return to the team.

Mikel Arteta has made eight changes from the midweek draw with Brentford for this fourth-round clash at the Emirates. Saliba, who missed the last league game due to illness, will team up with Cristhian Mosquera in central defense.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, who played in the previous round against Portsmouth, will continue as Arsenal’s goalkeeper for cup competitions this season. Gabriel Martinelli, who scored a hat-trick in that match, is also in the lineup.

Myles Lewis-Skelly, the 19-year-old midfielder, gets a start after limited game time this season, having only featured once in the Premier League. He joins Christian Norgaard and Eberchi Eze in midfield, while Martin Odegaard is absent from the squad due to a knee injury sustained against Brentford.
