Bournemouth vs Arsenal LIVE Score: Mikel Arteta's Gunners Aim to Stay on Top of Premier League Table
Mikel Arteta says Declan Rice’s availability depends on knee swelling while defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera remain sidelined ahead of the match.
- Mikel Arteta gave an update on Rice and Calafiori during Friday's press conference ahead of the Vitality Stadium visit, confirming training will decide final selections for the January 3, 2026 match.
- After a knee blow in the Brighton victory, Declan Rice was sidelined with swelling, while Riccardo Calafiori aggravated a prior issue in the Brighton warm-up, missing Arsenal's last two games.
- The swelling on Declan Rice's knee prevented midweek involvement against Aston Villa, but he has since returned to some training after missing his first Premier League game of the season.
- Arteta confirmed Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera are unavailable for selection against Bournemouth, while Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes featured against Villa, easing defensive concerns.
- Sitting four points clear after a 4-1 win over Aston Villa, Arsenal face delicate selection choices this weekend, and Arteta is unlikely to risk Rice with Liverpool and the FA Cup third round looming.
