Arsenal Injury update : Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are doubtful for the Bournemouth game, according to Mikel Arteta, adding William Saliba to Arsenal's injury concerns...

The Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the press ahead of his side’s trip to the south coast to face Bournemouth. The Gunners responded to the North London Derby disappointment with a win in midweek at Brentford in the Carabao Cup.
However, Arteta is still reeling from a double injury in the derby to Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. The pair failed to train ahead of the midweek clash and the Spaniard provided an update on the pair in today’s press conference.

When asked about Declan Rice, he replied, "He wasn’t available. He had to leave the London Debry and he hasn’t trained yet. We have another session in an hour or two so we’ll have more news about him today."

Again, he hasn’t trained. We want him back, we need him back, but at the moment he’s not been available," Arteta said. Regarding Saka and Trossard he said, "Same situation."

William Saliba has a, "knock" too as Arteta describes it hence why he missed Brentford. It is worrying times with the squad for Arsenal.

With these issues, there is sure to be chances for the likes of Jorginho, Reiss Nelson and perhaps Emile Smith Rowe too as Arteta navigates a side he had no problems dispatching at the Vitality Stadium last season.

Mikel Arteta has plenty of selection headaches ahead of Arsenal vs Liverpool.

"Normally I prefer to go to bed with the line up in my head so I can sleep like a baby," he said in his pre-match press conference. "But sometimes it can not be as you have to wait for the next day. Sometimes two days before. Or just three days before you already have the idea 'against this team this is what I am going to do' but when you have uncertainty with injuries that is tricky." Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are definitely out, while William Saliba is missing for the first time since May 2023 due to suspension. Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori are contenders to replace him, but both face late fitness tests, while Bukayo Saka is also a doubt. A loss could see Arsenal fall to seven points ...

Liverpool prepared to make £67m offer to sign La Liga star, Reds feel he would be perfect fit. Liverpool are reportedly preparing to spend big money to sign Athletic Bilbao midfielder Oihan Sancet, as per Spanish outlet Fichajes. After coming through the Basque club’s youth system, the 24-year-old has now established himself as a key player in his boyhood club’s starting eleven. He helped his side qualify for the Europa League by finishing fifth in La Liga last term. Now, he has had a productive start to this campaign, scoring seven goals in 10 league starts.

Now, Fichajes state that Liverpool have been impressed by Sancet and are ‘willing’ to submit a £67m proposal to lure him to Anfield next year.
