Following their climb to third place in the Premier League standings, Arsenal has updated its injury report and return schedule.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, will be praying that Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes are not suffering from any major injuries. Due to minor knocks, the two were substituted in the Gunners’ 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
A hamstring problem forced Rice to be replaced by Jorginho just before the hour, and Gabriel was substituted for Jakub Kiwior after taking a small knock. Thankfully, Arsenal will now have eight days off from competition, giving them plenty of time to heal.
Better news: Emile Smith Rowe enjoyed a little cameo in midfield after making his long-awaited comeback from the treatment room. At the Emirates Stadium, the Hale End alumnus made an immediate impression with some lovely touches and half-turns.
Oleksandr Zinchenko, who was missing from a few training images during the week, alarmed some at first, but he eventually made it back into the starting lineup. With a little more than a week until their next match, Arsenal will have plenty of opportunity to rest Arteta and his players.
That being said, after an outstanding victory over the Eagles, football.london has compiled all the most recent Arsenal injury news and updates.
Declan Rice
At the end of the Palace match, Rice appeared to have a hamstring injury; however, Arteta has since diagnosed the problem as “tightness.”
