Arsenal will be without midfielder Declan Rice in their Premier League clash against Aston Villa after the England international sustained a knee injury. The Gunners are hopeful that the injury will not sideline Rice for an extended period, but he will miss today’s high-profile fixture at the Emirates Stadium.
The 26-year-old has been a key figure in Arsenal’s midfield since joining the club, providing stability and creativity in the center of the park. His absence is a significant blow to manager Mikel Arteta, who now faces the challenge of adjusting his lineup and midfield strategy against a tough Villa side.
Despite the setback, Rice is expected to attend the match to support his teammates, showing his commitment to the squad even when unable to play. Arsenal fans will be eagerly watching how the team adapts without one of their pivotal players, as they aim to continue their strong Premier League form.
