Arteta gives updates on several Arsenal stars ahead of Brighton bout

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says Declan Rice and David Raya are expected to be available for Arsenal when they face Brighton on Wednesday.

Arteta revealed after his side’s win over Chelsea that both had injury concerns.

But the Gunners boss says both are now feeling better ahead of Wednesday’s clash.

“I hope so, he was much better today,” Arteta said on Rice.

“Obviously we haven’t really trained because we have only two days to prepare for the game so hopefully he is going to be better tomorrow.

“David is good to go.”

Arteta is also hoping Kai Havertz will be available again, having partly trained ahead of the upcoming clash.

“He’s done part of the sessions so we will have to wait and see whether he’s available and his condition,” Arteta said.

Martin Odegaard is also a doubt, meanwhile. “We have to wait and see how comfortable he is in certain actions,” Arteta explained.

But Ben White is set to miss out, though Max Dowman is available again following his ankle injury.
