Arsenal can make a real statement on Wednesday evening if they manage to beat Inter Milan at the San Siro.
Both sides have started the 2024/25 Champions League campaign impressively, winning two and drawing one of their opening league phase matches. If the Gunners are going to come away with something, they must do so without Declan Rice.
The midfielder did not train with his teammates on Tuesday and did not make the trip to Italy with the rest of the squad. Mikel Arteta revealed in his pre-match press conference that the England international has been nursing a foot injury since Saturday’s clash at Newcastle.
There is positive news regarding Martin Odegaard, however. The Gunners captain trained as normal on Tuesday and could feature for the first time since the end of August at the San Siro.
Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney remain out injured, however, which means Arteta is guaranteed to be without four senior Arsenal players for the clash against Inter.
