Arsenal star Declan Rice has been managing a minor back issue in recent weeks
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has been managing a minor back issue in recent weeks, according to Ryan Taylor. The Gunners star played the full match yesterday as Mikel Arteta’s men secured a huge 1-0 victory over the Hammers. Arsenal returned to the Emirates Stadium with all three points to inch closer to the Premier League title but the North Londoners lost Ben White to an injury. The Gunners defender left the London Stadium with a brace on his right knee and Arteta could be left sweating over the fitness of Rice too.
The England international was spotted holding his lower back at the end of the game and it appeared he was in some discomfort. Rice has had to cope with it and other minor issues in recent weeks. The Arsenal star was seen pausing, blowing out his cheeks and holding his lower back with both arms, but he has been training as usual. The Gunners are back in action next Monday with a home game against Burnley before taking on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the final day of the season. Victories in both games will hand Arsenal their first Premier League title since 2004 even if win all their remaining three league fixtures.
