Arteta said he wasn't sure what Calafiori's issue is, but it is believed to be minor and he could feature here.

Declan Rice - Doubt

Rice has a small issue and could well return here.

Noni Madueke - Doubt

Christos Tzolis - Doubt

Tzolis has a chance of returning from his muscular issue but will be assessed.

Hugo Ekitike - Out

Ekitike will not return from his Achilles issue until the new year.

Giovanni Leoni - Out

Leoni is going to be out until the new year due to a setback of sorts in his bid to return from a knee issue. Iraola said recently: "The rehab process has to be very careful with him, and we want to make sure once he comes to the team, he stays in a good place."
