Former Arsenal winger Jermaine Pennant has cast doubt on one player who he believes does not have the trust of Mikel Arteta, suggesting the player’s limited involvement this season indicates a lack of faith from the manager.
Arsenal, currently third in the Premier League standings, are chasing their first league title since 2004. They trail Chelsea by two points and league leaders Liverpool by six, with Liverpool holding a game in hand.
The Gunners’ attacking options have been stretched thin following Bukayo Saka’s injury, which is expected to sideline him until February. Gabriel Martinelli was deployed on the right wing during Arsenal’s recent win against Crystal Palace, while Raheem Sterling, who is on loan from Chelsea, has also been unavailable due to a knee injury.
