wilson88 Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta reveals why Ben White was substituted against Manchester City – as the player was not 100% fit wilson88
The England international was a substitute for the game at the Etihad Stadium, with Jurrien Timber moving to right-back, while Riccardo Calafiori was fit to start on the left.
However, White was substituted at half-time for Bukayo Saka after Leandro Trossard was sent off with 10 men in first-half stoppage time, with Arteta speaking about White’s decision to come on as a substitute due to fitness issues.
“I spoke to White yesterday, I want to protect him and he will never tell you he is not fit,” Arteta said after the 2-2 draw at City.
“He will do everything he can to play if you try not to play him, but we had to do it and I am very pleased because he did well.” ( wilson88 )
