Arteta backs Lewis-Skelly to put Salah in his pants.

Browse By

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is confident in his squad despite the injuries and suspensions. Including having left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly mark Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah or midfielder Ethan Nwary Watlough Dominik Soboszlai.

The Gunners’ injury list is long with winger Bukayo Saka (thigh). Left-back Riccardo Calafiori (knee twist), midfielder Martin Odegaard (left ankle), defender Jurrien Timber (weak fitness). Right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and main centre-back William Saliba suspended UFABET 

And the condition of Oleksandr Zinchenko, another left-back who is not yet 100%. May cause the opportunity to slip to Lewis-Skelly. An 18-year-old player who can play as a defender or midfielder. Even though there is a challenge like a duel with the killer Salah waiting. 

” Lewis-Skelly or Enwari, they are in the mix,” Arteta he said at the pre-match press conference ahead of the Reds’ clash at the Emirates Stadium (Oct 27). 

“Both give us options for the starting lineup.”  

“Like Miles, who came on as a substitute the night before (Chonburi won 1-0 against Shakhtar Donetsk). He did really well, and Ethan did the same.” 

“They are first-team players, we manage and value them as we would any other senior player.” 

“The kids are not afraid of anything, which is a positive sign. They create good energy.”
