Declan Rice Out of Arsenal Champions League Clash vs Inter
According to One Football, reports from the UK indicate that Declan Rice has not joined the Arsenal squad for their Champions League trip to face Inter Milan.
In a surprising development, Rice’s absence raises questions about his fitness just days after he played a full match in the Premier League.
Rice, who has been pivotal in Arsenal’s midfield, played a full 90 minutes in their recent 1-0 Premier League loss over the weekend.
His absence will add to manager Mikel Arteta’s selection challenges, as he looks to reshuffle his lineup in a crucial Champions League game.
In more positive news for the Gunners, captain Martin Ødegaard is set to make his return after a two-month recovery from an ankle injury.
Ødegaard’s comeback will be a welcome boost for Arteta, whose team has shown solid form in Europe with two wins and a draw in their opening three Champions League matches.
As Arsenal pushes to secure a place in the knockout rounds, all eyes will be on how Arteta manages his midfield amid Rice’s unanticipated absence.
