Arsenal: Mikel Arteta explains Ethan Nwaneri substitution as fresh injury blow is revealed Arsenal have been dealt a fresh injury blow after Ethan Nwaneri was forced off at half-time during their draw at Brighton.
“Kai tried but he was really very honest and said I cant even travel, I’m not feeling good at all,” said Arteta.
“Martin, he didn’t train, he said: ‘Let me not train and see how I feel tomorrow’ - and he did his best to be here because we know the numbers that we have.
Nwaneri had put Arsenal ahead in the first-half at the Amex, scoring his second Premier League goal of the season and the age of 17.
And Arteta said afterwards: “Really bad news because I think we’ve lost him (Nwaneri), we had to take him off at half-time with some muscular issues.”.
