Arsenal are preparing for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie against Sporting, but fresh concerns have emerged ahead of the match.
Details: According to James Benge of CBS, England midfielder Declan Rice missed the Gunners’ final training session before the game against the Portuguese side.
His participation in the match is now in doubt. In addition, Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka, Jurriën Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori will all miss the encounter against Sporting.
The match against Sporting will take place on Wednesday, April 15, at the Emirates Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 21:00 CET. Arsenal won the first leg 1:0.
It was recently reported that London side Arsenal are stepping up their activity in the transfer market and have already identified one of their key targets for the upcoming summer. Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon has attracted the attention of Mikel Arteta’s team.
Reminder: During the match between Chelsea and City, TV cameras captured a City fan who chose not only to celebrate his team’s success but also to mock one of their main title rivals — Arsenal.
