'We want our clubs to make money'- Nick Mwendwa hails federation's groundbreaking partnership with FIFA for FKF PL clubs
FKF president Nick Mwendwa flagged off the two-day event on Monday aimed at professionalizing and commercializing FKF Premier League clubs that was attended by top clubs and FIFA officials.
The defensive pairing, which has been integral to Arsenal's recent form, missed their first start together this season in the previous English Premier League fixture against Liverpool.
Saliba was unavailable for selection due to a one-match suspension, stemming from his red card in the 2-0 loss to Bournemouth the previous weekend.
Despite Saliba's absence against Liverpool, the two defenders showcased their defensive synergy in Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in last week's Champions League midweek clash.
Gabriel’s availability was cast in doubt after he was subbed off during the 2-2 draw with Liverpool due to a minor injury.
However, Arteta has since reassured fans regarding Gabriel's condition, stating in his pre-match press conference that "it doesn’t look bad at all."
