Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is reportedly set to miss tonight’s crucial Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
The Gunners host Unai Emery’s in-form Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium this evening in a major battle near the top of the table.
However, Mikel Arteta is expected to be without one of his key players.
The Athletic’s James McNicholas reports that Rice is set to miss the Villa game after sustaining a knee injury during Saturday’s 2-1 win over Brighton.
The news comes as a significant blow for Arteta’s side, who have already been dealing with multiple injury issues this season.
