Mikel Arteta was left without two crucial midfielders for Arsenal against Wolves in a crucial Premier League match due to injury news. Distribute
Arsenal have been left once again with a critical group of players missing out as Mikel Merino and skipper Martin Odegaard weren’t available for selection against Wolves. Instead, Mikel Arteta welcomed Ethan Nwaneri back into the starting XI whilst an inexperienced bench was picked. Odegaard is unwell and has had trouble getting back to his best since recovering from an ankle injury in November. He wasn’t feeling well, therefore he was benched for Brighton earlier this month.
It is the same with Willy. Let’s see how it goes this week, but I’m sure they’ll be in for next week.” With the opportunity to guarantee a spot in the top eight of the Champions League and, consequently, a direct route into the round of 16, as well as the subsequent visit from Manchester City, Arsenal has a busy week ahead of them. In contrast to Europe, the league does not allow for failure. Arsenal is aware that if things don’t go out, they might finish the weekend just one point above fourth. However, if they defeat Wolves, they will have played an additional game and will be within one game of Liverpool.
