Arsenal midfielder, Declan Rice, could feature in their Premier League game at Bournemouth this Saturday.
Rice underwent tests on Monday after feeling discomfort in his back during the 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.

The problem forced him off at half-time, and Jorginho replaced him.
However, the scans have revealed the issue is not a major one, although the midfielder continues to feel discomfort and is not expected to play in the Carabao Cup game at Brentford on Wednesday.
Rice will continue to be assessed this week, as will Leandro Trossard, who missed the draw with Tottenham because of a slight muscle issue.
