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

Arsenal's preparations for their Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP have been dealt a blow, as midfielder Declan Rice is uncertain to play due to an injury. Rice missed training on Tuesday, and manager Mikel Arteta says a decision on his availability will be made on Wednesday. The Gunners are already without several key players, including Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori. Arteta remains hopeful that Rice will be able to participate, but the team's options are limited if he is unable to play. With a crucial Premier League match against Manchester City on Sunday, Arsenal's squad depth will be put to the test. The Gunners currently lead 1-0 on aggregate against Sporting CP and are looking to advance to the semi-finals. Rice's potential absence would be a significant setback, as he has been an integral part of the team's success this season.
