Arsenal receive good news ahead of their next matches

Arsenal have received some positive news ahead of their upcoming matches, as midfielder Declan Rice’s back injury is not expected to keep him out for an extended period. The injury was suffered during Sunday’s North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

According to the Daily Mail, Rice’s injury remained painful overnight, but Arsenal are hopeful that it is not a serious problem. This will come as a relief to the team, as Rice has been an important player in midfield this season.

Currently sitting in fifth position on the Premier League table with 14 points, Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Tottenham. Their next match will be against Brentford in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday night.

With Rice potentially available for selection, Arsenal will be boosted by his presence in midfield. His absence would have been a blow to the team, as they continue their quest for success in both domestic and European competitions.

As Arsenal prepares for their upcoming fixtures, the news of Rice’s injury not being serious will provide a welcome boost. The team will be eager to put in strong performances and secure positive results in their pursuit of silverware this season.
