All the injury news surrounding Arsenal and Crystal Palace as they prepare to face off in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Arsenal and Crystal Palace are back in action on Tuesday night when they face off in a Carabao Cup quarter-final. A final four spot will be on the line at the Emirates Stadium, and this will be the last game before Christmas for both teams.
The Gunners defeated Everton in the Premier League over the weekend, while Palace suffered their second straight defeat, losing to Lees United. Here we round up the latest injury news surrounding both teams coming into this game.
Daniel Muñoz - Out
The full-back is out until January, with Glasner having said last week: “It's bad news. We will miss Dani for a few weeks; he will undergo surgery. The prognosis is 4-6 weeks, then he should be ready to play. But always, when you undergo surgery, you never know. We are always cautious. It doesn't look so serious.”
Cheick Doucoure - Out
Doucoure is out long term with a serious knee injury.
Chadi Riad - Out
Riad is being carefully managed after a long time out. Glasner said in his last update: “Chadi is a little tricky. It’s always a little up and down. We have 2-3 days where it looks really good, but then there are one or two where it doesn’t. He’s not always training. It’s a daily decision. We are just doing the best for him. We want to be really cautious because he’s been out for such a long time.”
Daichi Kamada - Out
Glasner said last week: “He stretched when he landed and overstretched the hamstring. We will assess him tomorrow. It hurts because it looks like we will miss him now for a little bit longer.”
Rio Cardines - Out
Cardines is out with an adductor issue.
Caleb Kporha - Out
Kporha is still not back from his troubling back injury.
Max Dowman - Out
Dowman is going to miss some time, with Arteta confirming: “Yes, so first of all, unfortunately, Max [Dowman] picked up an injury last weekend and had to come off. So he did some scans and he is going to be out for weeks.”
Kai Havertz - Out
Havertz is getting closer, but he won’t be back until at least the end of the month. Arteta said last week: “Matter of weeks. Let's see how it evolves... He's doing really well, he's doing stuff on the pitch, but I think he needs some time. He was doing everything; he could not go to the next level. We are all desperate to have him.”
Gabriel Magalhaes - Out
Arteta said last week: “He’s pushing hard, as he always does every time he’s out, and he’s evolving really well. He’s doing pitch sessions, so he’s not too far. We have to see in the next stages of that rehab, how he progresses, but we are quite positive about it.”
Cristhian Mosquera - Out
Arteta confirmed after the Villa game: “He's going to be out for weeks unfortunately, it's much more than what we expected. But the player was feeling it, so he's going to be out for weeks.”
Ben White - Out
Arteta confirmed: “Yeah, he’s out. He’s evolving well, it’s not a major injury, but it will keep him out for a few games, I think. I don’t think it’s going to be [a major injury] and Ben is a really fast healer as well, so there’s hope that we’re going to have him in the next few games.”
