“Tough Choices Keep Arsenal Players on Bench” — Arteta on Squad Rotation

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta addressed concerns about playing time for Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, and Emile Smith Rowe.

The trio remained on the bench despite a 6-0 win.

Arteta explained the tough choices due to squad depth. He highlighted that all three had recent opportunities against Newcastle and with increased substitutions (from 3 to 5), others get a chance.

While acknowledging player desire for more playing time, Arteta emphasized the reality of managing a large squad.
