Arteta 'loved' seeing Saliba watch Atletico on team bus
- Published
In the aftermath of Arsenal's 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, there was a picture doing the rounds on social media.
It was not of the goal or of any of the celebrations. Instead, it was an image of defender William Saliba watching Atletico Madrid, the Gunners' opponents in the Champions League, on the team bus leaving Craven Cottage.
There is a quick turnaround between the games with just two days of preparation before Diego Simeone brings his Atletico side to north London.
The Gunners have only conceded three goals this season, keeping eight clean sheets and boss Mikel Arteta says he was happy to see the dedication from members of his squad.
"Very pleased because I didn't encourage it - that came from them. Arteta said.
"We know this will be a tough one, so the earlier we think about it the better. I love that initiative from the players."
