Ready to start season opener

Rice is fit and ready to start Friday's season opener against Coventry, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "Yes, they're ready to be involved, yes."

Analysis: Rice's readiness comes after he played 45 minutes off the bench in the Community Shield win over Manchester City, a workload Arteta suggested could preview another heavy season for the durable midfielder following a campaign that saw him tally four goals and five assists across 36 Premier League appearances while helping Arsenal win the title. Rice is expected to slot straight into Arsenal's midfield for the opener as he continues building toward what could be another demanding campaign in terms of minutes played.

Scores, assists in third-place win

Rice scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 6-4 victory versus France.

Analysis: Rice took advantage of a defensive mistake to recover a ball and dribble towards the box before firing a well-placed strike in the third minute against France. Other than that, the midfielder did a great job on set pieces, with one of his corner kick crosses leading to the goal that doubled England's lead. He went through some struggles throughout the competition due to minor blows and an illness that limited his involvement, but overall he served as a big piece of his national squad, posting one goal and two assists and averaging a team-high 2.4 chances created per game.
