BBC reported on the 12th (Korea time) that Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice missed the game against Liverpool due to a muscle problem believed to be a hamstring injury.
Rice played a full 90 minutes against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. Rice missed the 36th round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Liverpool. Arsenal and Liverpool drew 2–2.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta did not give specific reasons for Rice's absence.
"Rice was not even able to train," Arteta said. "Unfortunately, he was injured and unable to play."
Rice is currently reported to be recovering from a hamstring injury and, fortunately, does not appear to be a major injury. However, Arsenal's medical team will not force Rice to participate too much.

Arsenal only need to secure two more points to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League. They are two points ahead of third-place Newcastle for the second place in the Premier League.
News of Rice's injury is also expected to be an important issue for the English national team, which is set to play in the A-match next month. Thomas Tuchel, England's national team coach, will have to consider selecting players.
Rice is a key player in Tuchel's team. It is highly likely to be included in the A-match call-up list in June.
