Declan Rice is getting ready to overcome his pain and try to play for England and Arsenal after injuring his toe.
Rice sustained a fractured toe during last weekend’s loss to Newcastle United, which prevented him from playing for Arsenal in the Champions League match against Inter Milan.

However, the midfield player has been included to Lee Carsley’s England team for the upcoming Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Greece.
This week, Rice has been unable to workout since he is unable to place a boot on his damaged toe. When Arsenal plays Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, the midfield player is prepared to attempt to overcome his agony.
Given that he will be missing first-choice defenders John Stones and Harry Maguire for the Greece vs. Ireland match, interim boss Carsley will be anxious to have Rice available, reports Telegraph.
Rice’s participation against Greece in Athens will be crucial because Carlsey is lacking defensive midfield alternatives due to Kobbie Mainoo’s injury.
To have a chance of winning their Nations League group and avoiding an undesirable play-off, England has to defeat Greece by all means.
