Mikel Arteta has provided an update on the fitness of Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Liverpool.
Saka and Timber had been huge doubts after missing out on Tuesday’s Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Calafiori meanwhile, suffered a knee injury during the clash with the Ukrainian champions that Arteta admitted was worrying.
None of the trio were involved as Arsenal trained at the Sobha Realty Centre on Friday but speaking ahead of Sunday’s top of the table clash, Arteta insisted that all three are in contention to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Calafiori seems the least likely to be able to make Liverpool after sustaining what looked to be a nasty knee problem. Arteta though has insisted that past experiences allow him to maintain confidence.
