Arsenal Faces Uncertainty Over Declan Rice's Availability for Champions League Quarter-Final

Arsenal's midfielder Declan Rice is uncertain for the Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP after missing training due to an injury. Manager Mikel Arteta stated that Rice will attempt to recover in time for the match, but his absence would be a significant setback for the team. The Gunners are already dealing with the absence of several key players, including Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori. Arteta expressed hope that Saka would return in 'days, not weeks' as he recovers from an Achilles issue. With a crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City on the horizon, Arsenal's injury woes have raised concerns about their ability to navigate this critical period in the season.
