Midfielder Declan Rice will have every chance to demonstrate his fitness before Sunday’s crucial match against Chelsea, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

According to Persecondnews, Rice’s foot injury from the loss to Newcastle prevented him from playing in Wednesday’s Champions League match against Inter Milan.

According to sources from London, Rice has suffered a broken toe, but Arteta remains optimistic about his availability for the Stamford Bridge showdown.

The Arsenal boss will assess Rice’s condition over the next 48 hours before making a late decision on his inclusion.

Rice has been a key player for Arsenal this season, and his potential absence would be a significant blow.

However, Arteta’s willingness to give him until the last minute to recover underscores the midfielder’s importance to the team.

Despite the injury, Rice has been included in England’s squad for upcoming matches against Greece and Ireland.

This suggests that the injury may not be as severe as initially feared, and Rice could potentially feature in Sunday’s London derby.

Arsenal’s recent slump in form, with three league matches without victory, makes Sunday’s clash against Chelsea a must-win.

Arteta will be eager to have Rice back in the lineup to bolster his team’s chances of securing a crucial three points at Stamford Bridge.
