Arsenal’s ‘Forgotten Man’ Back In The Squad As Ethan Nwaneri Is Serenaded By Teammates

Arsenal head to Lisbon with Tierney in the squad and Nwaneri is embraced in training…

 

Arsenal travel to Lisbon to take care of a tricky European tie against Sporting as we look to take a huge step towards qualifying for the last-16.

With 16 points the target to guarantee a place in the top-eight of the Champions League group phase, Mikel Arteta needs to arrest our poor away form in Europe and pick up three points.

A solid performance in Milan wasn’t fully rewarded after the hosts were handed a soft penalty to hand them all three points, leaving us trailing in the play-off positions in the table.

The feel-good factor returned at London Colney following a solid performance and an emphatic result against Nottingham Forest to end a run of four Premier League games without a win.

The story of the afternoon was undoubtedly Ethan Nwaneri, the Hale End star came on to score his first Premier League goal and become our youngest goalscorer in the league since Cesc Fabregas in 2004.

His reward for achieving that feat? Run through a corridor of Arsenal players and staff as they give him slaps on the back.

Elsewhere, Kieran Tierney returns to the squad for the first time since the final game of the 2022/23 season as we ended the campaign with a 5-0 win against Wolves.

Tierney’s return is welcome considering the recent news regarding Ben White’s surgery while Takehiro Tomiyasu remains sidelined with his knee problem.
