Graeme Souness has once again voiced his concerns over Declan Rice’s credentials as an elite midfielder, delivering a scathing review of the Arsenal star's tactical approach. Despite Rice’s instrumental role in the Gunners' recent successes, the Liverpool legend remains entirely unconvinced by the England international’s positioning on the pitch.
Leon Goretzka faces a frustrating wait for his Aston Villa debut after the German midfielder was ruled out for several weeks with a knee injury. The former Bayern Munich star, who recently moved to Villa Park on a free transfer, will also miss Jurgen Klopp's first international break in charge of the German national team.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has hit out at Declan Rice, accusing the Arsenal midfielder of committing the "most annoying offence in the world" to spark a confrontation with Morgan Rogers. The England internationals were involved in a heated altercation during the final stages of Arsenal’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday.
