Arsenal welcome Declan Rice back from injury for Saturday's match against Leeds United.

Arsenal are due to welcome Declan Rice back for their clash against Leeds United on Saturday, despite the midfielder missing England duty. Rice had withdrawn from camp through injury after completing 90 minutes in a 3-0 loss to Brighton before the international break.

Rice has been dealing with chronic nerve pain in his hamstring since last Christmas. Mikel Arteta said on Friday: 'We have to manage him because he's had a few issues since he came back from the World Cup. Hopefully tomorrow he's available and some others also are in doubt.' Among those facing late fitness tests are defender Ezri Konsa and Kai Havertz, who suffered a muscular injury while on Germany duty.

Arsenal will be without winger Christos Tzolis due to a muscle injury he sustained while on Greece duty against the Netherlands. Leeds have their own injury concerns, with Harry Wilson and Jean-Matteo Bahoya facing late calls, and Joe Rodon sidelined with a long-term hamstring injury. Daniel James has picked up a back problem while with Wales. Both sides are hoping to extend their unbeaten starts to the season.
