Arsenal injury update: Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori latest news and return dates

Asked about Rice’s absence before Saturday’s match against Villa, Arteta revealed: “Declan got a big kick in his knee during the match [against Brighton], at the start of the match actually, and by the time he finished the match he had a massive swell up. The game [against Villa] was too early for him to be able to consider.”
