Enzo Maresca shares new injury report on Marc Cucurella
Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Declan Rice injured
The Spaniard sustained a minor hamstring injury during the loss to Aston Villa last weekend, leading to his exclusion from the matchday squad to face the Cherries this evening. When asked about the left-back’s status, Maresca expressed hope regarding his return for the upcoming league fixture against Manchester City on the road, stating: “Cucu had a small issue in the last game (against Aston Villa), but he is okay, we hope. Hopefully, he can be available for the next game. We just try to prepare in the best way we can.” Following the defeat to Villa, the Blues find themselves three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool. They need to secure a victory against the Cherries at home tonight to prevent further setback. Besides Cucurella, Maresca has made five alterations to the lineup. Reece James, Benoit Badiashile, Pedro Neto, and Joao Pedro have all been moved to the bench from last weekend.
