Mikel Arteta confirms big injury boost for Palace clash

17 December 2024 - 20:47

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed a huge injury boost ahead of the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

  • Dutch star undergoing his medical at Chelsea
  • Chelsea poised to make bid for Man Utd winger



  • The Gunners have had a drastic dip in form over the last two league games. They have played out frustrating draws against Fulham and Everton.

    Arteta will want a strong response against the Eagles in the League Cup and ahead of the game, he has confirmed good news on midfielder Declan Rice.

    Rice was substituted shortly after the hour mark against Everton with a slight niggle, but he has recovered in time to train with his teammates.

    The Englishman is expected to undergo a late fitness test before tomorrow's game and should at least make the squad based on Arteta's latest update.

    Arsenal have won their last four games against Palace, but they can't take things for granted, given the Eagles should play with plenty of freedom.

    They go into the game as underdogs with nothing to lose.
