Arsenal star expected to start vs Chelsea after injury
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is expected to start in tomorrow's Premier League derby against Chelsea on the road, according to Football Insider.
The England international suffered a broken toe against Newcastle United last weekend and he was absent for the Champions League game at Inter Milan.
Rice was not spotted in training in Friday's session, but reports claim that he is expected to travel with the team to west London to face the Blues.
Infact, the 25-year-old is predicted to make the starting line-up for the Gunners. He is most likely to replace Mikel Merino in central midfield.
Arsenal face a must-win situation against Chelsea as they are already seven points behind Liverpool. The gap could extend to 10 by the end of the day.
A defeat to the Blues on Sunday could end their title prospects. Ahead of the derby, there could be another big selection boost on Martin Odegaard.
The Norwegian returned from a long injury lay-off against Inter Milan. He played just five minutes, but could start from the off tomorrow.
