Arsenal Players Declan Rice, Calafiori Set to Return

Arsenal is set to benefit from the return of Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori ahead of their Premier League match against Crystal Palace, following their recent Carabao Cup victory. Rice, who missed the previous match due to a minor injury, and Calafiori, sidelined since early December, are confirmed to be available for selection. Mikel Arteta expressed gratitude for his five-year tenure and highlighted the progress made in team unity and competitiveness. Arsenal aims to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool with a win, having drawn their last two league matches. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace will be without key player Eberechi Eze for the match, further impacting their lineup. The match comes just days after Arsenal's 1-0 triumph over Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
