Arsenal injury update: Rice, Calafiori and White latest return dates

Arsenal must quickly dust themselves down after the frustration of dropping more points in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners drew 0-0 with Everton on Saturday, failing to capitalise on League leaders Liverpool being held to a 2-2 draw with Fulham.

Still, Mikel Arteta’s side have little time to wallow ahead of a huge double-header against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal host the Eagles on Wednesday in a Carabao Cup quarter-final before traveling to Selhurst Park on Saturday in their final game before Christmas.

Failure to win either of those games would be a huge disappointment for Arteta, who has already seen his side drop their level in terms of consistency this season.

Arteta will need his full squad available as the games continue to pile up thick and fast, so here’s a look at the latest Arsenal injuries…

Declan Rice

Arsenal were dealt a blow on Saturday when England international Declan Rice was forced against the Toffees because of a knock.

“With Declan I had to take him off because he was feeling something,” he said.

"He has been with a little niggle for the last week or so. He asked to be subbed in that moment, so we have to do it."

Potential return date: Unknown

Arsenal are hoping to welcome Riccardo Calafiori back soon

Riccardo Calafiori

Riccardo Calafiori has missed the last three games with a groin injury but Arteta confirmed the Italian international was close to returning when speaking before the Everton game.
