Why Declan Rice Isn't Playing for Arsenal vs. Inter Milan in the Champions League

Declan Rice is not playing for Arsenal against Inter Milan in the Champions League due to an injury.

Rice, a key member of the Arsenal midfield, suffered a knock in training last week and is expected to be out for around two weeks.

“It’s a big blow for us,” said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. “Declan is a very important player for us and he will be a big miss for the Inter game.”

Rice has been in excellent form for Arsenal this season, and his absence will be a major blow to the team.

The 23-year-old has played in 30 games for Arsenal this season, scoring one goal and providing four assists.

He has been a key part of Arsenal’s recent success, and his absence will be a big miss in the upcoming Champions League clash.

Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey are expected to start in central midfield for Arsenal against Inter Milan.

Elneny has been in good form this season, while Partey is still working his way back to full fitness after a recent injury.

“We have a lot of quality in our squad, and I’m confident that we can cope without Declan,” said Arteta.
