Arsenal supporters raise fresh concerns over Declan Rice’s heavy workload

Arsenal supporters are increasingly concerned by the amount of playing time Mikel Arteta has given Declan Rice this season, according to The Touchline.

Fans believe the midfielder’s workload should be reduced because of the health problems he experienced last season. They are concerned that Arteta is placing too much demand on one of Arsenal’s key players.

Rice completed the full match as Arsenal secured a 2-1 away victory over Slavia Prague in the fourth round of the league phase of the Champions League.

The England midfielder’s latest appearance has intensified the focus on his schedule, with supporters calling for greater care over his involvement during the campaign.

Arsenal’s next match is against Hull City on 7 November.
