Arsenal are gearing up for another clash with Crystal Palace, this time in the Premier League, as the two teams compete for three vital points.
Arsenal is set to receive a significant injury boost ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that both Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori have returned to full fitness and are available for selection.
The Gunners are gearing up for a crucial match as they aim to maintain their title challenge. The return of Rice and Calafiori comes as a massive relief for Arteta, who had been concerned about their fitness in recent weeks. Rice, who missed the midweek EFL Cup victory over Crystal Palace due to a minor knock, is now fit and ready to bolster Arsenal’s midfield. Calafiori, who has been dealing with knee issues, has also made a swift recovery and is expected to provide depth in defense.
While Rice and Calafiori’s returns are positive news, Arteta did mention that Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still doubtful for the match. Additionally, Ben White and Kieran Tierney are ruled out due to long-term injuries.
Despite these setbacks, the return of Rice and Calafiori is a significant boost for Arsenal as they prepare to face Crystal Palace once again. The Gunners will be looking to secure three vital points to keep their title aspirations alive.
