Arsenal have suffered a major injury blow ahead of their Champions League meeting with Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.
The Gunners are currently holding a 1-0 lead after the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final played away from home.
They are frontrunners to beat the Portuguese giants at the Emirates but may have to cope with the absence of midfielder Declan Rice.
The Englishman was absent from today's training session, and it is left to be seen whether he will be fit for the European encounter.
In case he is sidelined, Christian Norgaard could be asked to partner Martin Zubimendi in the heart of the midfield against Sporting.
Arsenal go into the game as slight favourites, but may need to be wary of Sporting CP, who have beaten them at the Emirates in the past.
They once got the better of the Gunners in the Europa League on penalties and Arsenal need an early goal tomorrow to easy the nerves.
