Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Gabriel have trained before Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final with Sporting.<\/b><\/p>\n

Midfielder Rice, 27, left the England squad following a medical assessment during March’s international break and missed Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final loss to Southampton.<\/p>\n

Brazil defender Gabriel, meanwhile, was forced off with a knee issue after taking a knock during the defeat on the south coast.<\/p>\n

Both players were involved in first-team training at the club’s London Colney base on Monday before Mikel Arteta’s side travel to Lisbon for the first leg.<\/p>\n

Belgian winger Leandro Trossard also returned to training but Bukayo Saka was not involved after he also left the England camp early.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
