Arsenal in the spotlight

Dissenting voices appeared last weekend. Arsenal had requested the suspension of their match against Tottenham and the Premier League accepted. Clinging to the extraordinary measures for COVID-19, the gunners they managed to postpone their engagement from last Sunday despite having only one positive case, that of Martin Odegaard. The rest of the absences are injured or players called up for the African Cup of Nations. Something that in England has opened debate.

After Liverpool requested the suspension of the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals, now it is Arsenal who doubts whether they will be able to put together a guaranteed eleven for Thursday. You need to have a goalkeeper and thirteen field players. Despite the casualties, the suspensions and the debate about them, in London They look for a way out for Pablo Marí. The center-back is expected to pass today medical examination with Udinese and stay in the Italian entity until the end of the course.

The English tabloids today call it a “farce” and a “teasing” the way the London club is handling the situation. A squad from which Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Folarin Balogun recently left, also on loan, is further reduced. And the debate spreads, criticism grows, with Arsenal in the spotlight.
