Declan Rice News: Back fit with England

Rice (back) played 69 minutes in Thursday's 3-0 win against Wales, confirming he is fully fit after being forced off with back pain in Saturday's victory against West Ham United.

Rice was forced off due to back pain in Saturday's win against the Hammers, but the issue turned out to be minor as he played 69 minutes with the Three Lions on Thursday, confirming he is fully fit moving forward. This is good news for the Gunners since Rice has been a key player in the midfield for Arsenal. Having him fit to face Fulham, Atletico Madrid, and Crystal Palace later this month will be important for coach Mikel Arteta's side.
