Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice missed the Gunners’ 4–1 win over Aston Villa after picking up a knee injury in the previous match against Brighton. After the Villa game, Rice was seen speaking with Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, where he admitted his knee was “terrible” and appeared to be hobbling slightly.

The footage explains why Mikel Arteta chose not to risk the England international in Arsenal’s final Premier League match of 2025. With Arsenal in a title race, fans will now be anxiously waiting for an update on Rice’s fitness ahead of a busy run of fixtures.
