Arsenal’s director, Mikel Arteta, warned that Declan Rice suffers from a injury that “does not look good.”
The midfielder of all action was out of the squad he struggled to win 2-2 tie at Liverpool Home Champion Sunday afternoon. Before the party, Arteta did not provide an exact diagnosis on the topic that rice launched, although he revealed that the International of England “could not even train”.

“I think he is fighting,” he admitted Arteta when he asked for an update to Rice after his side nullified a two -goal deficit in Anfield. “You don’t look good.”
Rice had started the previous 19 Arsenal matches in all competitions before joining several teammates in an increasingly packed treatment room.
Jurrien Timber, on the right, made the squad this weekend, but as Arteta revealed, he had no chance of participating. “We took him with jurrien to see if he was better, but it was clear that he was not suitable for playing,” said the Spanish head after the game.
There was no update scheduled for Leandro Trosard, who dropped his hamstrings with the remaining 12 minutes.
Arteta selection considerations for the intriguing shock of next weekend Newcastle United They were more complicated by a red card for Mikel Merino. The converted striker was filled with rice in the midfield, while collecting two blatant reserves on both sides of half the time, discarding him outside the penultimate game of the league season.
There is the weak hope that arsenal could be driven by the return of Kai Hartz. Earlier this month, Arteta caused a quick return on the German gear, revealing: “I think that if everything goes the way it goes right now and the way it is planned, I think it will have the opportunity to play a few games here in the season.”
The arsenal only has two parties; Newcastle’s visit third place next Sunday before the season was tightened at Southampton already relegated.
Without rice, merino, pitch or jorginho, which recovers from a lung injury – Arta It may have to deploy Oleksandr Zinhenhenko in the midfield against Newcastle. Raheem Sterling could also work on a front line, which may include, on the other hand, Starlet, 18, Ethan Nwaneri.
