Arsenal look set to be without Dani Ceballos once again for Monday evening’s trip to the London Stadium, but Rob Holding is in contention to feature.
The Gunners offered an update on the pair on Sunday, ahead of another crucial league fixture as Freddie Ljungberg goes in search of his first win as interim boss.
The Swede will be without Ceballos however, after the club confirmed on their website that he will not return to training until “mid-December,” due to a hamstring problem.
Holding could feature though, with his knee problem set to be assessed by Arenal’s medical staff ahead of Monday’s game.

The absence of Ceballos will be a blow for Ljungberg given how impressive he has been at times this season, but the potential return of Holding could give the Gunners a much needed boost at the back.
And with Chelsea slipping up against Everton while Manchester United beat rivals City in the derby, a win for the Gunners appears crucial if they are to maintain hopes of a top four finish.
