EPL: Arteta confirms Arsenal top player hasn’t trained ahead Chelsea clash

Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that top midfielder Declan Rice has not trained ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Chelsea.

“Declan Rice has not trained yet and we still don’t know if he will be available against Chelsea.”
