Arsene Wenger fielded fringe squad against Swedish side Ostersund in the Europa League encounter on Thursday, by half-time, most fans were wishing the manager had a full-strength squad on the field as the home side endured a nightmare first 45 minutes at the Emirates.
Poor display
Two goals quick-fire goals in 60 seconds for the unfancied visiting side gave the Gunners quite the scare, with all to play for in the second stanza of the match.
The French tactician confirmed France international striker Alexandre Lacazette is recuperating pretty well from a knee injury and could return to training in four weeks, while Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey will be closely monitored ahead of a final decision over if he features in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.
Fans worried
In his presser on Thursday, the Arsenal boss disclosed that Colombian international goalkeeper David Ospina will wear the gloves for the League Cup final at the weekend.
The South American shot-stopper will be aiming to stop high flying Manchester City from scoring to seal the tactician’s first League Cup winner since taking charge of the team.
And it’s David Ospina who Arsenal supporters appear most worried about starting for the Gunners on Sunday following his performance on Thursday.
