Someone tell me what I need to hear about Rice.

He's fine.

He sat on the bench when he came off, with a bit of ice. That is probably a good sign.

Wonder if the medical team are of the same opinion. After Villa we have Bruges and then Wolves at home. So he can sit on the bench for both of those.

I'm probably guilty of amateur psychology but the sight of Saliba smiling and joking in the stands gives me hope.

If he's still genuinely injured I want to see pain on his face

I think he's playing Sat. BTW why the f*ck is this a 12:30pm kickoff with us having played Wed night?

Same for Villa though

I like the fact that they were sat together, with Gabriel to his left. Never out of position

Based on what Arteta said there is clearly hope he will play. Losing Mosquera means we may have to consider risking him.

I'd like to think we will **** off the Bruges game and leave plenty at home, including Rice, Timber, Calafiori.

Nah, I think you go all out against Brugges as it's an early opportunity to secure top 8, then rest players

Top 8 is basically done. And we can win there without a full side.

It's the Champions League

It's the Champions League

I don't care if it's the Epsom Derby!

It isnt a priority at the moment.
