Injury news on Rice, Odegaard, Havertz and Merino

Mikel Arteta provided updates on a quartet of Gunners at his pre-Chelsea press conference on Friday afternoon.

Speaking at Sobha Realty Training Centre, he shared the latest injury news regarding Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino.

On whether Declan - who missed Wednesday’s game at Inter Milan - could play against the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Mikel said: “I have to be very vague on that one because there’s no clarity on whether he’s going to be fit for the weekend.”

“[Whether he has a broken toe is] for the doctor, what I can say is that he hasn't trained yet and it is not clear whether he’s going to be available or not to play.
