Mikel Arteta confirms Arsenal duo are out of Liverpool clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the Gunners will be without Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera for the Premier League clash against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

The Gunners have been in superb form in the league and have picked up fifth-straight wins after a 3-2 win at Bournemouth. They will be eyeing another victory on Thursday night. 

Ahead of the encounter, Arteta has revealed that the game will come too soon for Calafiori and Mosquera, who are nursing injuries. They are more likely to return in a weeks' time.

While the defensive duo are sidelined, the Gunners are set to welcome Kai Havertz back into the squad. The German missed the clash at Bournemouth due to load management.

The former Chelsea man is close to reaching full fitness after a long-term knee injury, and could make his first appearance since August against the Reds on Thursday night.

There are no fresh injury concerns at the current point in time.
