Arsenal injury updates after Crystal Palace

Bukayo Saka

Coming off early in the clash over the weekend, Bukayo Saka is an injury worry, with the winger unable to finish the game.

The 23-year-old was clutching his right hamstring as he was brought off, which could be a huge blow for the side.

Saka was spotted on crutches leaving the stadium, putting further doubt over his availability in the weeks ahead.

Declan Rice

Declan Rice made a return to action for Arsenal against Crystal Palace, following a small injury he suffered against Everton.

The midfielder had just one training session before the match on Saturday though, meaning he only featured from the bench.

He did make an appearance from the bench, even scoring in the match.

Riccardo Calafiori

Defender Riccardo Calafiori also made a return against Crystal Palace, with the star making a substitute appearance.

While he suffered a poor challenge late on, which required some treatment, he did manage to play until the end.

Raheem Sterling

A surprising omission from the clash with Crystal Palace, Raheem Sterling was injured coming into the clash.

It was revealed that the winger picked up an issue in training before the game, coming as a fresh issue for the side.

Oleksandr Zinchenko

While Mikel Arteta suggested that Oleksandr Zinchenko could return from injury against Crystal Palace, he wasn’t named as part of the squad.

It remains to be seen whether the defender will be involved against Ipswich next time out.
