Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the club will be without two players for the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace tomorrow.
The Gunners are currently second in the table with 66 points. They are a staggering 13 points behind leaders Liverpool with just five games left.
Despite this, Arteta will want to end the season on a high note.
Ahead of the derby against the Eagles, the manager revealed that he will be without Riccardo Calafiori, who continues to nurse a knee injury.
The Italy international has returned to the grass in recent days, but has yet to fully recover from the injury sustained on international duty.
Alongside him, the club will be without Jorginho, who has been sidelined with a chest injury suffered against Brentford earlier this month.
Jorginho has been ruled out for the next few weeks and it is unclear whether he will play another game for the remainder of the campaign.
The midfielder is set to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires on June 30. He is negotiating terms with Brazilian side Flamengo.
