JUST IN: Premier League 0fficially apologize for Declan Rice’s unjust Red card, Ban the referee and cancelled Brighton’s goal- PRESS RELEASED
Arsenal will now be going into their next Premier League game without their star midfielder Declan Rice.
After the perfect start in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign, Mikel Arteta‘s side came across their first hurdle over the weekend.
Despite taking the lead through Kai Havertz, Arsenal were forced to settle for a point against Brighton & Hove Albion.
And their struggles began with the second yellow card being shown to Declan Rice for the controversial incident with Joel Veltman.
Having been shown a red card, Rice is now going to miss the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur.
Prior to his red card, the midfielder had been able to do something which no other Premier League player had been able to match.
What Declan Rice has done that can’t be matched in the Premier League
Losing Rice ahead of what is going to be the biggest game of the season is far from how Arteta will have wanted to prepare for the North London Derby.
As expected, the 25-year-old had played almost every minute of Premier League action up until that point where he was sent off.
The decision to send Rice off is one which has been debated considerably over recent days with the midfielder being sent off by the letter of the law.
