JAKARTA - Declan Rice gave good news to Arsenal ahead of the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, early morning WIB.
The England international, who missed out on his side's shock FA Cup defeat to Southampton, joined his team-mates in training at the club's London Colney base on Monday.
Defender Gabriel, who was unable to continue the match at Southampton's home due to a knee injury on Sunday, April 5, 2026 WIB, also trained, another encouraging development for Mikel Arteta's team.
Leandro Trossard, who did not go on the trip to the south coast, seems ready to leave for Portugal after training at London Colney. However, Bukayo Saka - who was absent with Rice from England's friendly against Japan last week - did not take part.
Arsenal will head to Portugal to avoid a third consecutive defeat after losing the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City and being knocked out in the FA Cup quarter-finals against Championship side Southampton.
The Gunners will face the Portuguese champions before the second leg of the quarterfinal at the Emirates Stadium next week.
