Everything you need to know about Arsenal's injury worries ahead of the Premier League clash against Aston Villa with Mikel Arteta to deliver updates at a press conference...

Declan Rice had to be substituted late in the game against Brentford with what appeared to be a calf injury. Manager Mikel Arteta had no immediate update on the severity, leaving Rice's availability for the upcoming match against Aston Villa in doubt. The Gunners' boss will provide an update on Friday.
Cristhian Mosquera also sustained an injury during the Brentford match, seemingly twisting his ankle after an awkward landing from an aerial challenge. Arteta also revealed there could be an issue in his knee, with things likely to be made clear on his issues at his pre-Aston Villa press conference later today.
William Saliba was absent for the matches against both Chelsea and Brentford, reportedly due to a knock picked up in training. He is expected to return for the game against Aston Villa on December 6 after Arteta stated it would be a "matter of days" before he could return.
Leandro Trossard suffered a calf issue in the Bayern Munich game and has been sidelined since, but there is optimism he can be back in action for the Aston Villa match on December 6.
Gabriel Magalhaes is dealing with a groin injury sustained while on international duty with Brazil in November. He was expected to be out for one to two months, with a predicted return date around late December 2025.
Kai Havertz has been missing since the first match of the season to undergo a successful knee procedure. Arteta stated he was "doing really well" but would still need "some time," with a predicted return date around late December 2025
