Declan Rice may miss Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Sporting CP due to injury concerns. Arsenal holds a one-goal advantage from the first leg but has struggled recently, losing their last three domestic matches.
Declan Rice a doubt for quarter-final second leg
Arsenal could be without midfielder Declan Rice for Wednesday night's Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP.
The Gunners took a one-goal advantage back from Lisbon in the first leg thanks to Kai Havertz's late winner. However, Mikel Arteta's side weren't at their best against the Portuguese champions and have lost their last three domestic games, including Saturday's loss that has allowed Manchester City to gain ground in the Premier League title race.
The North London side will still be favourites against Sporting but they will have to do it without some key players while Declan Rice is also a doubt.
The midfielder has been instrumental for Arsenal this season but did not participate in training ahead of Wednesday's game, which does not necessarily rule him out but certainly puts a question mark over his availability.
Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori were also not involved in training although Piero Hincapié and Eberechi Eze both featured, having not played at the weekend.
Wednesday's opponents Sporting won their game on Saturday – a nervy victory over Estrela Amadora decided by Daniel Bragança's solitary strike.
Declan Rice is currently a doubt for the Champions League quarter-final second leg due to injury concerns.
