Declan Rice was not present in Arsenal training the day before their Champions League quarter-final with Sporting CP.

Rice's absence from training does not mean he is ruled out of the last eight clash on Wednesday night, but it is a concern given Arsenal's huge week in their season - with a huge Premier League clash with Manchester City also awaiting them on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

Arsenal have been missing Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori in recent weeks - and none of them were out in open training on Tuesday morning.
