Arsene Wenger has revealed why Aaron Ramsey was not in the squad to face Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium yesterday as Arsenal lost 2-1.
www sbobet888 Amid the uncertainty surrounding the 27-year-old’s future in north London, Wenger has insisted he rested Ramsey against the Seagulls in preparation for their Europa League clash with AC Milan on Thursday.
Having already lost Alexis Sanchez over contractual difficulties, Arsenal fans will be feeling apprehensive with the summer transfer window just around the corner, as Ramsey enters the final year on his contract.Wenger told reporters: “I left him at home because I played him in the two games against City, without a lot of training in behind.
“I didn’t want to gamble today for a physical setback, so I left him completely out of the squad.
“Yes [it’s a sign of the Europa League’s importance], because we have to be realistic. We need two teams to collapse [in the Premier League]. I can’t see that at the moment because two teams to drop so many points is very difficult to imagine.
“But we have to give our best for as long as we can. Of course, the Europa League becomes important.”
