Arsenal's midfielder Declan Rice is uncertain for the Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP due to a recent injury. Rice missed training on Tuesday, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial match. According to Mikel Arteta, Rice will do everything possible to be fit, but any injury would be a significant blow to the team. Arsenal is already missing several key players, including Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori.
Arteta hopes Saka will return in 'days, not weeks' after being sidelined with an Achilles issue. The Gunners lead 1-0 on aggregate and face a huge Premier League clash with Manchester City on Sunday.
Arteta will make a decision on Rice's fitness after assessing the player's condition on Wednesday morning.
