Everything you need to know about Arsenal's injury and suspension concerns before the Everton clash

Ben White is currently sidelined with a hamstring issue that Mikel Arteta has clarified is not a major long-term injury. Although he will miss the next few fixtures, his reputation as a fast healer suggests he could return to the squad sooner than expected.

Cristhian Mosquera is facing a significant spell on the sidelines due to a recent injury to his ankle. The medical team expects him to be unavailable for selection for several weeks as he begins his recovery process.

Gabriel Magalhaes is making steady progress in his recovery from a thigh injury and has already returned to individual sessions on the grass. Arteta remains optimistic about his return, though the final stages of his rehabilitation will determine his exact availability.

Kai Havertz is dealing with a knee injury that requires a high level of caution from the Arsenal coaching staff. The club is focusing on a gradual reintroduction to ensure that once he returns, he stays fit for the remainder of the season.

Max Dowman is another young talent currently unavailable for selection because of a lingering ankle problem. He is expected to be out of action for at least a few weeks while he undergoes treatment.

Defensive Depth will be tested in the coming weeks with Mosquera, White and Gabriel working their way back to full fitness. The manager is closely monitoring their "pitch sessions" to gauge when they can safely handle the intensity of a full match.

Riccardo Calafiori is available once again, after serving a yellow card suspension last time out. The Italian hit the five cautions threshold and missed out against Wolves, but is back available again.
