Arsenal Faces Uncertainty Over Declan Rice's Availability for Champions League Quarter-Final
Arsenal's midfielder Declan Rice is uncertain to play in the Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP due to an injury. The player missed training on Tuesday, and coach Mikel Arteta stated that Rice will do everything possible to be fit for the match. However, if Rice is unable to play, it would be a significant blow to the team, especially with key players like Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori already missing. Arteta expressed concern over Rice's condition, citing the player's heavy workload as part of the issue. The team's upcoming schedule, including a crucial Premier League match against Manchester City, adds to the pressure. With several players injured, Arsenal's options are limited, and the potential absence of Rice could significantly impact their chances in the Champions League quarter-final.
