Declan Rice will not play for Arsenal on Wednesday when they travel to play Inter in the Champions League. Following a knock sustained during Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle United, the midfielder has joined the growing list of Arsenal players out with injuries. He has already been ruled out of Arsenal’s forthcoming matchup with the Serie A powerhouses in Europe, even though he has appeared in every one of Arsenal’s previous games in the competition.
Although Rice won’t be playing on Wednesday, Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, may play after returning to training. Because of an ankle ailment, the Norwegian has missed Mikel Arteta’s team’s last two months of games. At the press conference on Tuesday, the Gunners manager informed reporters, “The good news is it’s great to have Martin back.” He obviously had his first training session with us today, which lasted the entire day.

Following an injury sustained during Arsenal’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle United over the weekend, Rice was unable to travel to Milan. The England international will now undergo additional testing to ascertain his fitness for Sunday’s match against Chelsea. “Declan suffered an injury against Newcastle, which is regrettable. Despite feeling unwell for the past few days, he managed to finish,” Arteta said during a press conference.
“We’ll have to assess him on Thursday and see if he’s ready for Chelsea.” In the meantime, Arteta will wait to see if captain Odegaard can play at San Siro on Wednesday following his recovery from an ankle injury sustained while playing for Norway internationally in September.
