Declan Rice returned to full training with Arsenal this week, joined by Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz, as Mikel Arteta‘s side prepare for their final two Premier League matches. Rice’s return is the most significant development, following his surprise absence from the squad at Anfield on Sunday due to injury.
Arsenal offered no specific explanation at the time, simply listing Rice as “injured”. Speaking ahead of the draw with Liverpool, Arteta said: “Him and Jurrien are not fit, Declan couldn’t even train so he’s injured unfortunately and couldn’t make the game.
