Mikel Arteta Says David Raya Might Not Be Ready for Sunday’s Man City Match
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that goalkeeper David Raya might not be available for Sunday’s highly anticipated Premier League clash against Manchester City.
Raya was absent during Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Girona in the Champions League, with Arteta opting for experienced shot-stopper Neto in his place.
The 34-year-old, who joined Arsenal on a season-long loan from Bournemouth, made his debut but had a shaky start. He was caught off guard in the 28th minute when Arnaut Danjuma capitalized on a mistake to put Girona ahead
Despite the early setback, Arsenal responded well. Jorginho leveled the score from the penalty spot in the 38th minute, while teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri sealed the win with a stunning goal, showcasing why he’s one of the club’s most exciting young talents.
Arteta remained tight-lipped about the details of Raya’s injury but confirmed that the Spanish goalkeeper was unable to play. “He certainly could not play, and he’s injured, and that’s it. We’ll see how it improves,” he told reporters after the match.
When asked if Neto could step up as a long-term replacement, Arteta expressed confidence in the veteran keeper.
“Yes, that’s why he’s here, to do that job, and he’s done it for 20-odd years in his career, he said. I’m very happy, first of all, that he played.
It’s been seven, eight months since his last competitive game, and it’s not easy, so I’m very happy that he played and we won again.”
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
