The latest news from renowned journalist Connor Humm claims that Arsenal's central midfielder Rice will miss the EFL Cup quarter-final against Crystal Palace due to injury, despite the results of his physical examination.
The club conducted a meticulous medical examination on Rice and confirmed that he has no serious injury concerns. In view of the intensive fixture schedule, the club decided to give Rice a rest period as a precautionary measure to avoid aggravating his injury due to fatigue.
Recall that the last time Rice left the field due to injury was in the 16th round of the Premier League against Everton. After the match, Arsenal manager Arteta emphasized in the press conference that Rice's recovery was ideal and only needed appropriate adjustments.
Rice has played 20 games for Arsenal this season, contributing 1 goal and 4 assists in a respectable performance. The young midfielder is an integral part of the team and his absence will undoubtedly pose a challenge to the team.
Nevertheless, Arsenal's squad depth and overall strength should not be underestimated, and the team is full of confidence in the EFL Cup. Fans are looking forward to Rice's early recovery and return to the field of play for the team. At the same time, they also look forward to Arsenal's outstanding performance in the EFL Cup.
