Mikel Arteta has provided updates on Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori's injuries ahead of Arsenal's clash with Bournemouth.

Declan Rice, who missed the midweek 4-1 demolition of Aston Villa, is still uncertain to feature due to knee swelling. Arteta stated, "Not yet, we have another session today, let's see how he comes today".

As for Riccardo Calafiori, the defender is ruled out for the game against Bournemouth, along with Cristhian Mosquera. Arteta mentioned, "They are both out. I think he's gone up".
