Arsenal's midfielder Declan Rice is uncertain to play in the Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP due to an injury. Rice missed training on Tuesday, and manager Mikel Arteta will wait until the next day to make a decision on his availability. The Gunners are already without several key players, including Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori.
Arteta expressed hope that Rice would do everything possible to be fit for the crucial match, but his absence would be a significant blow. The team is also preparing for a critical Premier League match against Manchester City on Sunday, which could be a title decider.
With several players injured, Arsenal's options are limited, and they may have to rely on alternative players like Christian Norgaard, Kai Havertz, or Leandro Trossard to fill the gap left by Rice.
