Mikel Arteta confirms four injuries after Crystal Palace win

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed four injuries following the 1-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Gunners extended their gap at the top of the table to four points following a hard-fought win over the Eagles at the Emirates Stadium.

After the game, Arteta initially revealed that William Saliba could not return for the second half after picking up an injury concern.

He added that Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori also suffered injuries during the 1-0 win over Oliver Glasner's side at home.

The Spanish tactician added that Gabriel Martinelli also felt something and the Brazilian will need to be assessed in the next 24 hours.

Arsenal are presently top of the Premier League with 22 points on the board. They are scheduled to host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup fourth round at the Emirates on Wednesday evening.

Arteta is expected to make wholesale changes for the game, and we won't be surprised if the majority of the XI from the Palace win don't feature.
