Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice missed the eve-of-match training session and is a doubt for Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Sporting Portugal at 21:00. According to L'Équipe, the 27-year-old sat out Tuesday’s final workout.

The Arsenal coach may also have to do without Bukayo Saka, Martin Ödegaard, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, who also missed training.

Mikel Merino, a long-term absentee, right foot, will also miss the match at the Emirates Stadium.
