Rice (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match vs Bournemouth.

Rice (knee) is a late call for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We have another session today, let's see how he comes today and how he's feeling, but [the Villa game] was too early for him," the boss said at the Sobha Realty Training Centre. Sometimes you get a hit and, throughout the game, you are able, with adrenaline and because you are warm, able to sustain that, and then the body reacts. It reacted probably more than we expected, unfortunately, and that's where we are."

Rice (knee) "got a big kick in his knee at the start of the [Brighton] match... The game was too early for him to be able to consider.", according to coach Mikel Arteta, who added "Short-term? We think so. We're hopeful when the swelling comes down and he can start to function, he will be fine."
