“Arteta Reveals Key Arsenal Injury Update and Declan Rice’s Fitness Status Ahead of Chelsea Showdown”
Mikel Arteta spoke to the media ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming London derby against Chelsea.
Matchday 11 of the Premier League brings a North vs. West London clash at Stamford Bridge, where Arsenal will face an in-form Chelsea side managed by Enzo Maresca. The Gunners come into the match under different circumstances, as they are on a three-match winless streak in the league, making Sunday’s encounter all the more crucial.
Arsenal Injury Update vs Chelsea
During the pre-match press conference, Arteta provided clarity on some of the injury concerns affecting the squad. Declan Rice missed Arsenal’s Champions League defeat to Inter Milan, and Arteta offered a brief update on the midfielder’s fitness.
“I have to be very vague because I can’t guarantee he’ll be fit for the weekend,” Arteta said.
With rumors circulating about a toe injury, the manager kept his cards close to his chest, neither confirming nor denying the speculation. He also added that Rice “hasn’t trained yet.”
