Mikel Arteta confirms double Arsenal injury boost for Palace game

20 December 2024 - 20:43

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed a double injury boost for the Gunners ahead of the Premier League game at Crystal Palace tomorrow.

  • Chelsea want to sign Lyon star to replace Jadon Sancho
  • Arsenal want to bring Aymeric Laporte back to England



  • The Gunners recently progressed to the last four of the Carabao Cup following a 3-2 comeback win over Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

    The club now face the Eagles on the road in the league. Ahead of the London derby, Arteta has provided some positive news on the injury front.

    The Spaniard confirmed that Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori are both available and will be in the squad to face the Eagles away from home.

    He said: "Rice and Calafiori are both available to be in the squad."

    Arteta added that Oleksandr Zinchenko could also be available for the London derby, but the game will come too soon for Takehiro Tomiyasu.

    Arsenal are already six points behind league leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. They can ill-afford to drop points in the near future.
