Arsenal will be without two of their summer signings for the crucial Premier League clash with Chelsea this weekend Raheem Sterling and Riccardo Calafiori will both be unavailable for the highly anticipated London derby.

Sterling, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea this summer, is ineligible to face his former club. Meanwhile, Calafiori, who was also linked with Chelsea, is out with an injury and is expected to return after the international break.

Despite these setbacks, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains optimistic about the team’s chances. “We have a lot of quality players, and we’ll be ready for the challenge,” Arteta said. “It’s a tough game, but we’re prepared to give our best.”

With the title race heating up, this match could be a defining moment for Arsenal’s season. Fans will be hoping that the team can overcome the absence of Sterling and Calafiori and secure a vital victory against their fierce rivals.
