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 expressed that Rice will attempt to recover in time for the match, but any absence would significantly impact the team. The Gunners are already dealing with the absence of key players, including Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori. Arteta hopes Saka will return soon, stating his injury is a matter of 'days, not weeks.' The team's preparation for the crucial week ahead, including a Premier League clash with Manchester City, has been further complicated by Rice's potential absence.
