However, there may be more concerns about the availability of other key players by the time of the fixture.
This match is crucial for Arsenal, who need to keep pace with Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title. With City remaining unbeaten and leading the table, dropping more points could be detrimental, especially if City continues to win.
During the international break, Arsenal has closely monitored their players’ fitness, and the situation does not look promising.
Football London reports that, besides Rice, Arsenal is already missing Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney, both of whom are long-term injury absentees.
Gabriel Jesus is confirmed as an absentee, and Riccardo Calafiori’s fitness is now in doubt after leaving the Italy camp due to injury concerns.
Jurrien Timber, who suffered a knock in the game against Brighton, could be another potential absentee for the Spurs fixture.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Injuries are a part of the game, but hopefully, we will not lose too many players to fitness problems before the game.
