Mikel Arteta Provides Declan Rice Injury Update Following Crystal Palace Victory.

The Gunners comfortably led by three goals when Rice left the field, uttering “hammy” in reference to his hamstring.

Arteta assured concerned Arsenal fans that Rice’s withdrawal was a precaution due to tightness.

In addition, centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes exited in the 81st minute due to discomfort from a first-half challenge.

Despite Gabriel’s goal being initially credited as an own goal, Arteta praised set pieces, highlighting the team’s diverse goal contributions.

The manager expressed satisfaction with the clean sheet, emphasizing the need for shared goal-scoring responsibility in the absence of a prolific scorer.
