Arteta Provides Update on Arsenal Injuries Ahead of Bournemouth Clash

Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, provided an update on the team's injury situation ahead of the match against Bournemouth. The absence of Mosquera and Calafiori was announced, leaving the Gunners' defensive line with fewer options. The biggest concern revolves around Declan Rice, who has swelling in his knee and is doubtful for the match. Arteta stated that the match against Aston Villa is too soon for Rice to be considered. Rice's condition is being closely monitored and his participation will be decided after the final training session.
