Arsenal's manager, Mikel Artesa, welcomed William Saliba to face Saturday with Wolverhampton Wanderers before the deadline, but was forced to leave Martin Odegaard out of the field due to illness.
The Spanish boss has cultivated a reputation for providing unreliable fitness updates. Arsenal defender, Oleksandr Zinchenko even revealed the games of mind which the arts are ready to play to confuse the opposition.
“I have seen him telling the injured players to come to the team bus and enter the dressing room with their washing bag to remove fragrances from the other manager,” Zinchenko wrote in his autobiography.
There was no wrong direction about the presence of Saliba in Molineux this weekend. The French quarterback has had a muscular injury since the winner of North London in mid -January. The arts confirmed that Saliba would be in the race to face Manchester City next weekend, but warned of “tomorrow we will see.” The 23-year-old was joined in the back line from leftist defender Myles Lewis-Skelly, who also crossed a blow.
“Very good who returned (Saliba and Lewis-Skelly), they lost their last game and they are happy to help us. Arsenal explained the manager Sky Sports before the match.
Saliba suddenly won the race with time to line up alongside Gabriel for traveling to Wolverhampton. The Brazilian was handed over to the captain's strip on Saturday in the absence of his ordinary captain Odegaard.
“Martin (Odegaard) was sick this morning, we had to return it. He was not at all capable of playing.” Arts discovered. “Mikel (Merino) also has a blow, so he couldn't do the training yesterday.”
Odegaard played a full 90 minutes of the Gunners comfortable 3-0 in the Champions League Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday night, even scoring the last goal of the match in the second half holiday. Attack midfielder has been replaced in the 11th by teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri.
“He's a player who is giving us a lot in recent weeks,” Artes told the 17-year-old. “We trust him.”
