The trolling made its way into the real world on Tuesday, however, with footage shared to X. formerly Twitter, showing Rice to be the target of vile chants from Chelsea fans.
Footage from the away end at the Emirates on Tuesday showed a group of supporters appearing to chant 'Declan Rice, your bird's a fat ****'.

Rice appeared to be getting ready to take a corner in front of the away end of the club he played for as a youth between 2006 and 2013.
The England star ignored the chants, which repeated the slur three times.
Fryer has been taunted for her appearance, with the bullying first starting in December last year when an anonymous account told midfielder Rice he 'could do better'.
Recently, Rice was told he had 'low standards' for being in a relationship with Fryer, who is the mother to their 20-month-old son, Jude.
Fryer has since been vigorously defended by Rice fans over the comments. Taking to X on Wednesday, one outraged fan wrote: 'I honestly worry about the mindset of some people. This is Lauren Fryer the girlfriend of Declan Rice who has suffered so much on line abuse recently.'
Another posted: 'A beautiful woman, a couple in love, with a young family. Some within this world need to get a grip', while a third shared: 'Appreciation post for this beautiful woman Lauren Fryer. We're sorry to see that in 2024 women are still subject to so many disgusting comments.'
Love Island star Liberty Poole, meanwhile, who appeared on the seventh series in 2022 and Love Island All Stars earlier this year, wrote on her Instagram Stories: 'I think she's beautiful this is crazy.
'What happened to celebrating different body types and embracing how we are all individually made.
'Beauty standards these days are unrealistic and everyone's gone mad because of social media.
'I'm going to keep preaching about it till I die. Time for change, this can't continue.'

The couple have been together since 2016, meeting at school and have a son together, 20-month-old Jude.
They live in London together, having met when they were 17.
Fryer now has nearly 80,000 followers on her public Instagram account, though no longer has any photos on the account.
She can regularly be seen in the stands supporting Rice when he plays for both Arsenal and England.
It has, meanwhile, been suggested that a fake press conference could have prompted the wave of vile abuse that led to Fryer deleting her photos.
The post, which is completely fabricated and purports to relay Rice's response to disparaging questions about his girlfriend during a fictional press conference, was shared on Saturday - just three days before her Instagram content was deleted.
In it, Rice is asked why he opted against dating stereotypical 'glamour models and pop stars' in favour of his childhood sweetheart.
Meanwhile, in December fans rushed to Lauren's defence after a vile troll posted about Declan's 'low standards'.
The account responsible for posting the tweet has since been suspended after hundreds criticised the troll.

In August 2022, Rice appeared to confirm the birth of his first child with Lauren by revealing a tattoo dedicated to a new born boy during a game when he played for West Ham United.
He prompted speculation at the time that he had welcomed Jude earlier that month by exposing a tattoo of the child's name and apparent birth date - August 7.
Jude's star-sign, Leo - characterised as a symbol of self-confidence and attractiveness - also featured within the delicate inking on then-West Ham captain Rice's lower left arm.
