Last updated: 31 Oct 2026. Next match: Liverpool (A), 1 Nov.
Arsenal head into the away trip to Liverpool without William Saliba and Bukayo Saka, both sidelined through injury. Christos Tzolis, Noni Madueke and Riccardo Calafiori are doubtful, while Max Dowman is suspended. No return date has been confirmed for any of the injured players.
Arsenal’s next match missing players
Premier League: Liverpool v Arsenal, 1 Nov, 16:30 UK time.
Injured: William Saliba (back), Bukayo Saka (thigh).
Doubtful: Christos Tzolis (hamstring), Noni Madueke (sprained ankle), Riccardo Calafiori (bruised ribs).
Suspended: Max Dowman (red card suspension).
The absence of William Saliba leaves Arsenal short at the back, with Riccardo Calafiori also doubtful. Bukayo Saka’s injury, plus doubts over Christos Tzolis and Noni Madueke, limits attacking options against Liverpool. Max Dowman’s suspension further reduces options in midfield for the trip.
