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 stated that a decision on his availability will be made after assessing his condition on Wednesday morning. The Gunners are already without several key players, including Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori, who have been sidelined in recent weeks. Arteta expressed hope that Saka will return to action soon, saying his recovery is a matter of 'days, not weeks.' With a crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City looming on Sunday, Arsenal's injury woes have added to the pressure on the team in a pivotal week for their season.
