William Saliba, a defender for Arsenal, is returning to his roots by traveling to Cameroon as he recovers from his injury. Despite his mother being from Cameroon, the France international has chosen to represent his native country.

During his visit, Saliba met with legendary striker Samuel Eto’o at the FECAFOOT headquarters, reinforcing his connection to the footballing community in Cameroon. He was also spotted enjoying the sights of Yaoundé with his family and indulging in local cuisine, sharing moments on social media.

Sidelined by injury since March, it’s believed that Saliba’s absence has impacted Arsenal’s title chase, leading them to lose their lead in the standings. Reports indicate that he will miss the remainder of the season. However, his contributions have helped ensure that Arsenal remains in contention for a top-two finish, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the next season.

Upon returning to London at the beginning of the season after his loan at Olympique Marseille, Saliba showcased significant growth as a player, becoming a key figure in Arsenal’s defense.
