Declan Rice Ready for Ghana Clash Despite Injury Concerns
Declan Rice, a 27-year-old midfielder for Arsenal and a member of the England National Team, opened up about his injury struggles due to a demanding schedule. He experienced hamstring pain after being withdrawn during England's 4-2 World Cup victory against Croatia.
Despite these concerns, Rice assured that he is fully fit and ready to participate in the group stage match against Ghana on Tuesday at Foxborough Stadium in Boston. He described the pain as a precautionary issue, especially as the Christmas period approaches.
Rice highlighted the intense workload of the season, having played 63 matches across competitions, and referred to the schedule as "obscene." He also mentioned that his club teammate Bukayo Saka is recovering from a minor Achilles problem. Rice is eager to contribute significantly as England aims to secure a second consecutive World Cup title.
