Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the club will be without two defenders ahead of the Premier League clash against Bournemouth on the road tomorrow.
The Gunners extended their gap at the top of the league following a 4-1 win over Aston Villa in midweek. Manchester City were unable to match that result after a goalless draw at Sunderland.
As a result, the north London giants are four points clear of the Cityzens at the top of the standings and can temporarily extend the lead to seven with a victory at the Vitality Stadium tomorrow.
Ahead of the encounter, Arteta has revealed that Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori have been ruled out due to ankle and hamstring injuries.
Declan Rice has yet to fully recover from a knee swelling and he will be assessed in the next 24 hours before a final decision is made on him.
Arsenal suffered a 2-0 loss to the Cherries on the road last season after a William Saliba red card. They will be aiming to avenge that result.
