"Mikel Arteta has revealed that as many as four players could be carrying knocks following Arsenal's win at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners recorded a slender 1-0 victory against the Eagles, with former Palace man Eberechi Eze volleying home the game's only goal. It was a result that sent Arsenal four points clear at the top of the table, with Bournemouth their closest challengers."
"Asked about the first trio, as quoted by Arsenal's official website, Arteta said: The first one was Willy [Saliba], who had to be taken out after the first half. Declan was struggling from the first half with a knock that he took. And Riccy [Calafiori], let's see how that will go. Saliba was replaced at half-time by Cristhian Mosquera, with Rice and Calafiori both withdrawn on the 82nd minute for Mikel Merino and Piero Hincapie respectively."
"We have to check that one, Arteta said of the Brazilian. He was a bit uncomfortable, he said he felt something. We don't know whether it's a muscular issue or not, so tomorrow we'll have more news."
Arsenal secured a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace thanks to an Eberechi Eze volley that proved decisive. The victory moved Arsenal four points clear at the top, with Bournemouth as the nearest challengers and early rivals Manchester City and Liverpool suffering defeats. Manager Mikel Arteta reported that William Saliba, Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Martinelli require assessment after carrying knocks. Saliba was withdrawn at half-time for Cristhian Mosquera, while Rice and Calafiori were replaced on the 82nd minute by Mikel Merino and Piero Hincapie. Martinelli received physio attention and awaits further checks.
