Arsenal exit the Carabao Cup after a fourth-round defeat to Fleetwood Town, and the result is followed by fresh injury setbacks for their upcoming Premier League match at Liverpool. In reporting across outlets, Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta says three players were unavailable for the Fleetwood game because of fitness issues, adding to an already difficult build-up.
The trio identified by Arteta includes Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Noni Madueke. Rice is described as having come off late in Arsenal’s weekend win over Everton and then missing the midweek match. Calafiori is also said to have been unavailable due to an issue after featuring previously, while Madueke is reported as dealing with an ankle problem. Coverage also notes that Arteta is expected to provide further updates ahead of the trip to Anfield.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis and level of detail. Some headlines foreground the “triple injury” framing, while others use slightly different wording around whether the players are confirmed unavailable or injury doubts. All accounts place the injuries in the context of the Fleetwood loss and the timing before the Liverpool fixture.
