Arsenal fitness doubts ahead of Liverpool

A Liverpool preview reports Saka ruled out, with Rice and Madueke among the doubts; another roundup says Calafiori and Madueke are being assessed and Rice and Merino may be available. Saka’s potential absence until December or later is a reported estimate, not a confirmed timeline, while Saliba continues individual work without a return date. Dowman’s three-match ban is confirmed and rules him out of the match.
