Ian Wright reiterates horrible Arsenal concern

Wright said on the Kelly & Wrighty Show: “I think if Emile Smith Rowe was fit, he [Saka] would’ve got more of a rest. We just haven’t got the depth, we still haven’t put teams away enough in the Europa League to be able to rest, we have to play him, whereas you probably would’ve thought he’d get rested against Zurich.”He’s so dangerous now. He’s getting fouled a lot, he’s getting a lot of bodies around him, you always worry about him. It is a worry because we’re not a million miles away from the World Cup, and more importantly he’s in good form which is what Arsenal need at the moment.”Arsenal boss Arteta has stopped short of saying referees need to do more to protect Saka. Asked on the issue last week, the Spaniard said: ‘I’m sure that the referees have looked at all the incidents and the amount of fouls our front players are getting & it’s their job to manage that situation in the best possible way.’Want the latest Premier League news as we publish it on Express Sport?
